What is Central Little Rock Promise Neighborhood
The Central Little Rock Promise neighborhood aims to organize programs and services in targeted areas south of I-630 around the academic needs of children and their families to ensure happy, healthy and productive childhoods and greater academic success from pre-school through college and career training. This effort will aim to work with all children in the community and will include schools, after-school programs, community-based services to families, and improved neighborhood conditions such as health and safety.
