WV’s Promise Summer Associate project allows a community organization to recognize its strengths- great way to focus on the positive while working on the challenges (you can always find an organization fulfilling 2 or more of the promises to some degree so there is momentum in building on what they are already doing). Various activities focusing on the 5 Promises within Education: Programming to prevent summer learning loss for students; STEM, Reading, Arts, Healthy Futures, Gardening, 4-H Programs, supporting or expanding Summer Feeding Sites, meal sites that serve both children, youth and communities, and supporting drug prevention.
