Rooted to Grow

Counseling Services for Adolescents
Expanding our Wellness Team with the addition of a Clinician has the dual advantage of 1) enabling more one-on-one and group support for adolescents and their families and 2) freeing up the Wellness Director to focus on higher-level strategy and program development to strengthen work across the organization.

Strengthening our ability to promote well-being
Expanding our Wellness Team allows us to increase case management support, adopt a culturally-relevant social-emotional curriculum, and provide more resources for activities that promote well-being.

Providing full scholarships for low-income families
We’ve increased scholarships to fully cover the cost of tuition for low-income families, ensuring that cost is not a barrier to enrolling in our schools.

Upgrading program spaces to optimize learning
To maintain a safe and healthy environment, we are upgrading our buildings, including infrastructure repairs, utility upgrades, and physical repairs to program spaces to enrich learning environments.

Increased training to improve practice
Increased training for staff to enhance their professional skills and strengthen their ability to implement programs that accelerate outcomes for youth.

Attracting and retaining great talent
Created a staff position fully focused on attracting, retaining, and training UrbanPromise’s talent in order to strengthen our team and bolster programmatic impact.

Compensation adjustments
Compensation adjustments enable teachers and staff to support their families, focus fully on UrbanPromise’s mission, and continue supporting youth for many years.

Created a cash reserve
Created a cash reserve that will allow UrbanPromise to weather lean times and stay resilient through unforeseen hardships.

Succession plans
To strengthen the next generation of staff leadership and prepare the organization for transitions.

Growing revenue
Increasing the organization’s capacity to diversify revenue helps position us to serve the Camden community for decades to come.
