On December 24, the "Jiangdong Neighborhood Center project" got the finalist prize of "China Social Innovation Award", being the only one project in Zhejiang Province to get the award.

It is said that "China Social Innovation Award" is a specialized academic award founded by Compilation and Translation Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Peking University. This year, 24 of the 249 candidate projects got the award, including 10 projects for winning prizes and 14 projects for finalist prizes.

Since 2008, Jiangdong District has begun to organize the neighborhood center to provide services for other community organizations. With the center, a suitable activity venue is available to the community organizations, which makes it possible to activate some long-neglected social organizations and form some new organizations to meet the needs of residents. In the district, each of the 58 communities is equipped with a neighborhood center.

There is also a neighborhood center at the district level to deal with the affairs of all the community neighborhood centers and provide services for other social organizations.
