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.
Many organizations strive to enroll students in tutoring programs or summer camps, but no other organization employs, empowers, and challenges high school students to be the leaders of change in their own neighborhoods to the extent we do at UrbanPromise! Meet some of our StreetLeaders and campers, and learn more about our unique model in this video!

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.
SURPRISE!
We invited a few UrbanPromise Charlotte Alumni to gather together and reflect on their experiences with UP. But what happens when the script flips and some of our current StreetLeaders and students surprise these graduates LIVE with their words of gratitude?! Check out our alums' candid responses in this video highlighting the long-term impact of UrbanPromise Charlotte!
