City of Promise is a data-driven initiative, utilizing neighborhood surveys, academic reports, and demographic and community data to clearly define our impact and to identify areas of need.

 

Since 2012, we have seen positive results in the form of higher graduation rates, rising test scores, and a better neighborhood climate. There is growing confidence among parents  in the neighborhood that their children will have what it takes to succeed. And our dual-generation approach encourages parents to raise their sights for themselves too, thereby increasing the possibility that each household will break the cycle of poverty.
