Hello! I'm Jan, the founder of The Neighborhood Sprouts.

Neighborhood Sprouts was founded by

Jan O’Shaughnessy, a community builder and mom who believes kindness is a practice — and kids are powerful leaders of change.

What started as a small neighborhood idea has grown into a movement rooted in joy, service, and connection. Sprouts and Jan are based in Edgewood, in Atlanta.
