Program areas at City of Promise

Pathway Coaching. Students in grades 5 through 12 are assigned a coach to support their academic success. Coaches collaborate with teachers to address academic and behavioral needs. Coaches ensure that students are connected to after-school activities, summer programs, and employment opportunities. Coaches plan and chaperone field trips, give kids a ride whent they need it, and support parents in navigating paperwork and systems that will lift up the whole family.
Adult empowerment. Research shows that children's success in school is linked to their parents' level of educational attainment. Our Family Empowerment programs offer a dual-generation strategy for academic achievement. Anchored in family literacy, workshops and activities enable parents to reach important self-suffieciency goals as they learn and grow together with their children.
General program. Activities included research, development of standards of performance, and the development of metrics to measure the success of outcomes. Food and transportation services were included in general program activity.
