AfterSchool Program: UrbanPromise AfterSchool Programs provide opportunities for elementary and middle school students to improve their academic performance, develop necessary life skills, create positive relationships with caring adults, explore the arts, and nurture their faith. Approximately 320 elementary and middle school students participate in UrbanPromises AfterSchool Programs rooted in four of Charlottes lowest-income neighborhoods in west, southwest, and east Charlotte.

Summer Camp: UrbanPromise Summer Camps fill the learning-gap between semesters and provides elementary school students with six-weeks of focused academic instruction, spiritual support, and abiding relationships. Literacy instruction throughout the year is led by certified Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools teachers. During the summer, literacy instruction is designed to combat the summer learning loss students from low-income families often experience. During our last nine summer programs, UrbanPromise students made an average of 3+ months of reading growth during our six-week program.
