Celebrating 15 Years of Community Impact: A Milestone for Children of Promise NYC

Fifteen years ago, a vision was born – a vision to change lives and uplift communities. Today, we joyfully commemorate Children of Promise's 15th anniversary, a journey defined by commitment, perseverance, and immense care.

Our Modest Origins

Established in 2008, CEO Sharon Content started with a clear yet impactful goal: to assist and uplift families affected by incarceration. What began as a modest initiative has evolved into a beacon of hope and opportunity in our community.


Key Achievements

Throughout the last 15 years, Children of Promise has achieved significant milestones. From educational empowerment through tutoring programs and workshops that have empowered numerous children to thrive academically and emotionally, to creating a supportive community environment where families not only receive assistance but also find a sense of belonging. We have also created a safe space with comprehensive care, from mental health counseling to recreational activities, catering to the diverse needs of our community members. These achievements highlight Children of Promise's commitment to fostering academic success, building a supportive community, and providing care that addresses the diverse needs of our families.


Stories of Strength

Beneath every success lie numerous tales of strength and perseverance. Families who have faced challenges with bravery. Children who have embraced education and development. Volunteers and supporters who have devoted their time and resources to effect change. Each one epitomizes the strength of community and compassion.


Appreciation and Recognition

None of this would have been achievable without the unwavering support of our donors, volunteers, staff, partners, and community allies. Your faith in our mission ignites our passion and steers our impact. Collectively, we have made a difference, one life at a time.
