What is the City of Promise?

City of Promise is an initiative to permanently change the game for children and youth ages 0-22. It is a team of parents, youth, neighbors, schools, service providers, and local government.

What do we believe?

We believe that every child CAN go to college. The City of Promise game plan is to build a cradle-to-college-and-career pathway for children.

What is the pathway?

This pathway includes the best resources, life-changing opportunities, and educational excellence.

What is the promise?

The “promise” is a commitment to create the environment with the tools and resources that lead toward success by working with all involved to change lives.

What is happening now?

This is a year of planning - figuring out what we need, what we have, how to bring it all together to make sure all our children and youth get the best this community can offer.
