Harlem Children's Zone. River Rouge Promise Neighborhood. In September of 2010 The Guidance Center received exciting news that it would partner with the city of River Rouge and many community groups and individuals to increase the educational outcomes of children from birth to career and their families. Using a Federal Grant from the Department of Education that models the successful Harlem Children's Zone in New York, our agency is taking a holistic approach with the planning process to focus on social, cultural, educational and environmental aspects to determine the needs of the community.
This grant focuses greatly on education, but a plan also is in the works to concentrate on housing, unemployment, health, safety and basic needs. A child's ability to learn is diminished if he/she is worried about where his/her next meal will come from. As a group we will address all of the underlying issues that impact a child's development. Our team has focused on community engagement and collection of comprehensive data. Podcast: Promise Neighborhoods Institute at PolicyLink.
