UrbanPromise Charlotte's vision 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. Our vision is three fold--Reach a Child, Raise a Leader, Restore Community. Our ultimate goal is raise a new generation of indigenous Christian leaders that is determined to make Charlotte a fully integrated city where social, spiritual, and economic capital flow between neighborhoods. UrbanPromise Charlotte is an affiliate site of UrbanPromise Camden, which began in Camden, New Jersey in 1988. UrbanPromise reaches younger children through afterschool and summer programs and raises high school leaders (called StreetLeaders) who are employed as mentors and counselors for the children who attend these programs.
