What We Work For

In partnership with Promise Neighborhoods leaders, we work to strengthen a cradle-to-career approach to ensure the success of all children and youth.

Our training and technical assistance with Promise Neighborhoods is focused on leadership development and capacity building to help communities achieve their desired results.

How We Do It

Our Approach

Our work has included providing one-on-one support to federal grantees, structured in-person and virtual workshops, trainings, web-based information and resources, and written products and tools. We recently provided a Results Countâ„¢ leadership development program to two cohorts of Promise Neighborhoods leaders in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education, the Urban Institute, and the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

Our current and ongoing work with Promise Neighborhoods grantees is designed to:

  • Build a culture of results.
  • Develop system leaders.
  • Engage resident and community leaders to develop solutions.

We believe that all children growing up in Promise Neighborhoods should have access to great schools and strong family and community support systems that will prepare them to attain an excellent education and successfully transition to college and a career.
