A World of Promise
UrbanPromise International
Since our first years in Camden, the UrbanPromise model has been replicated throughout the United States and around the globe. To date, more than 30 organizations have been launched around the world, following the UrbanPromise model. All UrbanPromise sites and affiliate ministries are governed independently but strive to achieve the same goal: to provide children and youth with the support needed to succeed academically, grow spiritually, and develop into leaders who can bring positive change to their communities. Collectively they are supported by UrbanPromise International, Inc.
