The mission of UrbanPromise Charlotte is to provide Charlotte's children and youth with the spiritual, academic, and social development necessary to become Christian leaders determined to restore their communities.
UrbanPromise Charlotte takes a 20-year leadership journey with students and their families.
This journey has three stages: Reach a Child, Raise a Leader, Restore Community.
From ages 5-13, students attend UrbanPromises’ AfterSchool and Summer Camp programs.
During high school, students are employed as “StreetLeaders” (mentors and counselors for the younger children in our programs) and receive college access support themselves.
From ages 18-25, StreetLeader Alumni receive support so they graduate college and find meaningful post-graduate employment.
