The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis and its partners are launching an Indianapolis neighborhood-based education and career initiative known as the Mid-North Promise Program (MNPP). Promise programs across the country typically provide local, place-based college support for graduating high school students from a specific school district, city, or town. The Mid-North Promise Program will serve as a new national model as it will be the first Promise program in the nation to focus on a neighborhood anchored by a cultural institution and the first to take a family approach and provide support for both children and adults from cradle-to-career, including college enrollment and workforce certifications.
The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is launching the new program with the support of leading national and local organizations committed to community success through education and career development. It will specifically assist those families with children pre-K through 12th grade who live within one of the following six neighborhoods in the Mid-North area:
- Crown Hill
- Highland Vicinity
- Historic Meridian Park
- Historic Watson Park
- Mapleton-Fall Creek
- Meridian Highland
