UrbanPromise is ministry to children and youth living in the inner-city neighborhoods of Wilmington, Delaware.
The mission of UrbanPromise is to teach children and young adults the skills necessary for spiritual growth, academic achievement, life management and Christian leadership.
Our vision is to be a community in Christ of servant leadership and transformation, seeking a full life for all involved; urban youth, families, volunteers, and staff in the neighborhoods of our city.
UrbanPromise began in Wilmington in 1998 under the leadership of Rob Prestowitz. The ministry has grown to include 6 after-school programs, 6 summer day camps, the StreetLeader job training program for teens, and UrbanPromise School (primary school) and Academy (secondary school).
