SPPN serves families who have children in 16 early learning centers and 4 elementary schools in the Frogtown, Rondo, and Summit-University neighborhoods of Saint Paul.

Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood is committed to supporting the needs of children and families within the 250 blocks of the Rondo, Summit-University and Frogtown neighborhoods.

Your contribution helps us quickly activate resources, whether social, financial or otherwise, where the need is most critical.
The People's Fellowship is an 6-month journey for fellows to build for themselves, family and community.

This is a perfect opportunity for families to learn how to boost income while being set on the pathway to building wealth and assets for the future with culture at the center. Application deadline is October 16, 2020.
