Education. Opportunity.
Support for Every Family
Mission Promise Neighborhood is a community-driven initiative ensuring every child and family in the Mission District thrives through education, economic opportunity, and wraparound support.
Mission Promise Neighborhood is a powerful partnership of schools, community organizations, parents, and local leaders working together to break the cycle of poverty in San Francisco’s Mission District. By aligning efforts and resources, we support families from prenatal care through college and career—building financial stability for parents while preparing children to thrive. Through this collective impact model, we’re creating a neighborhood where every child has the opportunity to succeed, and every family has the tools to reach their full potential.
Mission
The Mission Promise Neighborhood links family economic security with student academic achievement. It creates a comprehensive, integrated framework of evidence-based services that responds to urgent needs and builds on the foundation of student, family, community, and school strengths and assets. Together, parents, neighbors and partner organizations work block-by-block, guaranteeing that all Mission children, youth and their families achieve academic excellence and economic self-sufficiency.
Vision
The Mission Promise Neighborhood builds a future where every child excels and every family succeeds. Students enter school ready for success, and graduate from high school prepared for college and career. The Mission District thrives as a healthy and safe community that provides families and their children the opportunity to prosper economically and to call San Francisco their permanent home.
Our Promise
We promise you, the children and youth of the Mission, to be fully committed to your success and well-being. We make you the center of our work every day, week, month, and year. We make this promise to you, and to every child, in every house, and on every street, in the Mission. You are the Mission Promise.
