Next week there will be two chances for people to share a meal and their views on what it will take for us, as a community, to move from dreaming to doing as we work toward helping all our children and youth tap into their full promise. Please join us either Thursday, July 21, 5:30 – 9 p.m. OR Saturday, July 23, 8:30 – 12 noon. Childcare will be available. For more information, click here.

The U.S. Department of Education just released the application for the next round of Promise Neighborhood Program funding. The implementation grants are due by September 6. The CLRPN will plan to apply but, no matter what, remains committed to moving our Promise Neighborhood work forward into the implementation phase this fall.
The Data Team continues to focus on its behind-the-scenes work completing the formal Needs Assessment of our area and building the type of data management system that will allow us to use data more effectively to impact change in our neighborhood.
The Solutions Team is translating all the subgroups’ “starting points” recommendations into a more defined, overall design for a cradle to career pipeline. Their next meeting is July 19.
The Sustainability Teamis planning and holding the Promise Forums next week. Information and ideas shared by community members at the forums will be used immediately to help us write part of the implementation grant and transition more effectively from planning to implementation. Please join us if you can!
