Baltimore’s Promise is a collective impact effort focused on creating a continuum of care and services for all youth across their life span to improve outcomes for them. It is focused on building a culture of shared accountability and collaboration across Baltimore City. The mission of Baltimore’s Promise is to coordinate strategy, identify quality programs, support alignment activities, establish shared measures for meaningful results, build public will, and advance policy on behalf of Baltimore City’s youth. Baltimore’s Promise has five ambitious goals for the City’s youth as they transition along each part of the cradle to career continuum: babies are born healthy; children enter Kindergarten ready to succeed in school; children and youth achieve at grade level in school; youth graduate high school prepared for the next step without remediation; and youth earn quality post-secondary credentials or receive training and are career-ready. This grant provided core-operating support.
