Action Teams

In the fall of 2012, the Richmond Promise Neighborhood program launched an Action Team model. The model consists of five Action Teams, each concentrating on a theme that community members selected as significant for the East End. Through the Action Teams, resident leaders, service providers, and other stakeholders are working side-by-side to support our children and families through the Action Team model. The Action Teams focus on:Action Teams_img

  • Early Childhood Education
  • 2nd through 8th Grade Education
  • High School to Career
  • Health and Wellness
  • Housing

Action Teams’ purpose:

  1. To support families in the Promise Family Network via direct connection and access to resources, programs and services.
  2. To be the first point of contact for collaborative initiatives in the one square mile area surrounding Peter Paul Development Center: the Promise Neighborhood community.

Action Teams serve as the conveners for collaborative initiatives in the Peter Paul community and meet as needed throughout the year. Quarterly, all five teams come together for a group meeting. To review meeting minutes click here.

Service Partnerships

The Richmond region is well resourced to create the cradle to career pipeline and provide solutions for East End residents. Richmond’s spirit is characterized by a caring, creative and committed citizenry who galvanize resources to tackle problems great and small. Richmond Promise Neighborhood views the opportunity to unite leaders of these organizations and countless volunteers as an opportunity to end generational poverty and deliver the promise of bright futures for all children.

A few of the collaborative efforts involving Richmond Promise Neighborhood and our partners are highlighted.

As part of the overall RPN programming, we are coordinating with service providers to provide the RPN website page2following:
