The goal of City of Promise is to make a positive impact on generational poverty and support a culture of achievement through child-centered, dual-generation initiatives in Charlottesville. City of Promise does this by connecting low-income and BIPOC families to the resources they need (food, transportation, housing) to build stable home environments that form the backbone of healthy communities. Through in- and out-of-school programs and community partnerships, City of Promise helps families build relationships with schools and engage in their children’s learning, provides academic support to children in grades K-12, and promotes a culture of success to create pathways out of generational poverty.
