• Individualized student outreach (emails and phone calls)
• Learning packet assembly and drop off/delivery
• Group sessions with students (during and after school)

The Alliance is looking to share this special opportunity with schools and community based organizations that:

• support 6-12th grade students,
• are committed to hosting Promise Fellows for 2+ years (20/21 and 21/22),
• will use this reduced cash match to meet current student needs and,
• can strategically earmark funds (around 10K per Promise Fellow) for the 21/22 school year budget.
