Mission
To provide and facilitate comprehensive programs and services that support children, strengthen families, and mobilize residents to action.
Program accomplishments
- Expanded Learning Time ProgramsOur afterschool programs operate Monday through Friday and use innovative techniques to close the achievement gap for approximately 200 students in grades pre-k through fifth. During the academic block, certified teachers work with small groups of students to support them in the completion of their homework and practice skills learned in school day lessons. During the extracurricular enrichment block, students participate in activities that increase fine motor skills, broaden stem skills, and expose them to all forms of art. The summer programs serve about 300 students and include small group learning, extracurricular enrichment and field trips. (Continued on Schedule O)Students in these programs demonstrate fewer behavioral incidences and improved attendance and academic performance compared to their peers.Expenses $556,143
- Community and Parent Engagement and Workforce Development Family Engagement Nights are a major part of our efforts to connect families, promote educational engagement, and foster a sense of community. These nights are designed to bring families together in a fun, educational environment that supports both learning and relationship building. Other family engagement events include literacy programs that support reading and comprehension, as well as special evenings like CPN Night at the Aquarium, where families explore marine life and conservation in an interactive, engaging way. Each event includes a warm meal provided by CPN, ensuring that families can relax, connect, and learn together. (Continued on Schedule O)We are committed to ensuring that neighborhood residents play an active role in community decision-making. Through its Community Engagement Council, we regularly bring together residents to plan engagement strategies, discuss community priorities, and gather feedback on important issues. The council's efforts are complemented by our work with Neighborhood Association presidents, who help increase meeting attendance and keep residents informed of local challenges and developments. This structured approach to engagement helps foster a connected, proactive community and ensures that residents' voices are at the heart of our initiatives. Our Workforce Development initiatives empower both students and adults to achieve long-term success. Middle schoolers gain mentorship, leadership training, life skills, and career exposure to prepare them for future opportunities, while adult residents receive career readiness support, job connections, and resource navigation to overcome barriers such as childcare, transportation, and financial stability. Together, these programs build confidence, open pathways, and strengthen the community.Expenses $124,766
- School Day Initiatives We provide targeted support to principals at some of the toughest schools in the state. By aligning with school leaders' visions, CPN provides targeted funding and resources that strengthen teacher retention, expand professional development opportunities, and enhance curriculum to meet students' needs. This support allows schools to attract and retain high- quality educators, foster innovative teaching practices, and build a culture of continuous improvement. Beyond the classroom, CPN partners with principals and staff to implement schoolwide turnaround strategies that address both academic and social-emotional learning, ensuring students are supported holistically. (Continued on Schedule O)Together, these efforts create sustainable change that improves student achievement, strengthens family engagement, and builds thriving school communities.Expenses $146,729
- Kidswell Community HealthStarted in 2011, KidsWell, Charleston Promise Neighborhood's school-based health and wellness program, brings comprehensive physical and behavioral health services directly to students at school through partnerships with MUSC and Fetter Health Care Network. By offering on-site screenings, treatment, and follow-up care, KidsWell eliminates barriers for families such as transportation and cost, ensuring that all students in CPN partner schools have equitable access to quality healthcare. Confidential telehealth therapy further supports students' mental and emotional well-being, helping them navigate challenges like anxiety, grief, trauma, and ADHD. With a focus on both prevention and ongoing care, KidsWell keeps students healthy, reduces time away from the classroom, ensures students are ready to learn, and strengthens the foundation for long-term academic and personal success.Expenses $129,114
