We are deeply honored by the recognition bestowed upon the MPN impact in the Mission District, as it takes center stage in a Harvard University case study.

Last Friday, we had the pleasure of hosting a community celebration for the 10th anniversary of Mission Promise Neighborhood. It was an evening filled with sharing experiences, stories from MPN families and students, dancing, and enjoying delicious food. Working with Mission District students and families for the past decade has been an incredible honor. We've made significant strides in closing the education achievement gap and providing vital resources to parents and mentors. We're also deeply grateful to all our partner organizations for their unwavering commitment and dedication. Here's to another decade of making a positive impact together! #CradleToCareer #CollectiveImpact #PromiseNeighborhood
