What is the Flatbush Promise Neighborhood?
– A Promise Neighborhood is a community that makes a commitment to supporting every child from the cradle to college and career.
– It’s a partnership between schools, businesses, health care providers, non-profits, faith communities and government to provide all the services families need to thrive.
– The U.S. Department of Education is supporting the Flatbush Promise Neighborhood’s 2012 Community Plan, where we tell governments, business and non-profits what we need to help our children grow and succeed.
– We will study the problems that affect our neighborhood – poor health, high crime, underfunded schools, insufficient affordable housing – as well as our strengths and community assets. CAMBA, one of the largest human services agencies in Brooklyn, is coordinating the community planning process.
– Using research and community knowledge, we will propose evidence-based solutions to help every child succeed.
– At the end of 2012, we will present the Community Plan to the U.S. Department of Education and apply for up to $30 million over the next five years to make that plan a reality.
How can I be part of the Flatbush Promise Neighborhood Initiative?

– Share: Tell your neighbors, friends, and family about the Promise Neighborhood, and help us every reach every family in the coming months.
