ABOUT US
Urban Promise Miami was founded in 2010 by best friends Ana Ojeda and Kristy Nunez. It is based on the successful model pioneered in Camden New Jersey.
We are passionate about empowering our neighborhood youth into reaching their potential despite the odds against them. Our children face a multitude of challenges including but not limited to: poverty, hunger, domestic violence, abuse, trauma, fatherlessness (nearly 80% of our kids lack a stable male role model), violent crime, drugs, gangs, lack of emotional, academic and social support. We take a holistic approach to support our children by instilling education, mentors, life skills, leadership opportunities and financial guidance.
Vision:
To restore hope and promise to at-risk communities
Mission:
To serve at-risk families by providing space to dream, grow and become leaders in their communities
Values:
At Urban Promise Miami we form a safe and supportive environment to equip Miami’s inner city children and young adults with the necessary skills to attain academic achievement, life management, and leadership skills. Our mission goes far beyond only meeting the current needs of low-income communities, in fact enabling our students and families with educational, life, emotional and problem-solving skills to provide lifelong outcomes.
