Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood

Thank you Chair @mohamudnoor and @AthenaHollins for championing the Minnesota basic income bill last week! Basic income provides individuals with freedom and flexibility to make economic choices — let’s go statewide! On to the next committee! #mnleg tinyurl.com/hf2666

We launched @StPaulPromise from my City Council office to give our scholars every opportunity. Today, they wrote another chapter on their journey, opening a book vending machine full of stories they see themselves in! Great way to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth & #ILoveToReadMonth!

Celebrating a milestone 🎓 The People's Fellowship proudly announces the graduation of Cohorts 9 and 10! Cohort 10 presented their insightful Critical Participatory Action Research project, providing valuable feedback to enhance the fellowship. Congratulations to our families!

Major thanks to the @WJWInstitute at @hczorg for hosting and filling our cups as we return to Saint Paul to continue our work in driving social and economic mobility at scale for our families and scholars. #PowerOfPlace

We shared insights and inspiration with fellow place-based #cradletocareer practitioners as we put in the work to grow our field and impact the lives of children and families in our communities.

Last week, Saint Paul Promise staff attended the second annual Power of Place: Heart and Science of Cradle to Career Leadership Convening in New Orleans. Over three days, our team connected with hundreds of fellow leaders, practitioners, and policymakers across sectors nationwide

@AParentNation We look forward to welcoming our next PAC at @HallieQBrownCtr this October. Cohort 2 will begin in October 2023 and run through mid-November 2023. All Cohort meetings will be held at HQB. The Cohort will meet one weeknight evening a week for six weeks. Dates are coming soon.

We graduated our first Promise Advocates Cohort this month! We brought together 12 parents, caregivers, & neighbors to ignite our inherent political power, invest in our capacity as self-advocates, & act on opportunities to create real change grounded in our lived experiences.

Looking back on last month, St. Paul Promise was honored to join the Freedom School gathering at the @sciencemuseummn. Our Project BOLD team experienced Harambee with over 1600 scholars present!

Thank you @HallieQBrownCtr for a wonderful National Night Out gathering last evening!

Started the day in a school filled with joyfully sure and bright learners. Freedom School is hot.🔥
