Promise Neighborhoods Institute at PolicyLink
Promise Neighborhoods are designed to build a continuum of support for children from “cradle to career.” Based on the Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ) model, Promise Neighborhoods are place-based initiatives, anchored by high quality schools, that seek to build sustainable systems to enable children to reach their potential. They pursue this goal by focusing on integrating services throughout communities and incorporating proven practices and the principles of collective impact.
