Project Promise VI

What I plan to write...

I have volunteered with Project Promise in various capacities from its inception almost 7 years ago. In the beginning there was no evidence of what they were capable of doing for at-risk youth. Fast forward to present day. As a Life Coach with Project Promise, I have seen the manifestation of the evidence of their mission statement, “Improving the lives of at-risk youth.” Evidence of failing grades to honor roll, Principal’s awards, local community service, and world service.

Wonderful organization that teaches and empowers the youth with the skills they need for a positive, purposeful and fulfilling future!

In this times project promise has being able to keep their kids mind and body's focus , I love to see the great work that's getting done

Even though COVID-19 has affected our daily living, Project Promise haven't stopped their efforts, they have adapted to meet the needs of the kids! Truly an inspiration!

My name is Zeeken Mark. I am in 8th grade and I attend John H. Woodson Junior High School. Project Promise is an nonprofit organization. They have impacted me alot through the years. They have helped me through my school years. They pick kids from 5th to 10th grade and help us with college.

My daughter has been part of project promise for the pass 4 yr and she continues to grow and mature into the young women she becomes thanks to this program.. especially for their conditional support.

I volunteered with Project Promise as a yoga teacher. Spending this past school year with them was a rewarding experience. Project Promise is an excellent organization that puts the students first. They’re organized, strategic, innovative, and passionate about what they do. They offer a wide variety of activities and experiences to expose the students to a broad range of ideas and people. Every class with the students was fun and playful. They’re really great humans! The work they do with the students benefits not just the students but the island overall. I am so grateful for time with them!

My name is J'Neelah, I have been in one of Project Promise’s programs named The Catipillar Project for 4 years. My experience at Project Promise is amazing, they help us with our homework and give us many great opportunities.

My story is that this program helps you get advice about the future. Project promise has help me excell in many of the activities that I was once not able to do. This program helps me to make good decisions.

I giving Project promise 5 stars because this program has been an awesome influence to my daughter and our life! I’m grateful for all the support they give our family!

Project promise has helped my granddaughter expand in numerous activities!!

It has been very rewarding to work with the program participants. To see them growing into expressive young men and women has been amazing! I really like the exposure they receive to all facets of life that they may not have experienced outside of this program. Ultimately, they will take with them memories and skills that will last them a lifetime.

The work that is done throughout this organization is impeccable! Project Promise is always giving back to our community and around the world. This organization is also making an impact in the future sucess of the kids in their Caterpillar Project. By providing them with the necessary tools to be successful in school and in life. I love everything about Project Promise and what they stand for.

Project Promise has helped me extremely! It’s helped me not only in learning different things but it has helped me gain more knowledge about what the world holds for us in the future.

I can't begin to say enough about the work that Project Promise is doing to help its participants, and impact their local community at the same time! In three and a half years, Project Promise has helped our students to grow by leaps and bounds academically and socially. The students have been exposed to so many positive activities including the arts and cultural events, monthly community service commitments, and dozens of career options. They've given locally and internationally, donating toys and raising money for tuition for children as far away as South Africa! It has been truly rewarding to be a part of this program and helping to mold these students, and I can't wait to see them in five more years when they graduate from high school!

Passion, dedication, and consistency, is the driving force behind every volunteer. An amazing group of people that give effortlessly and tirelessly to positively impact the lives of our children. Project promise is the epitome of this quote…“We cannot always build a future for our youth, but we can always build our youth for the future.” ― Franklin D. Roosevelt

Thank you so much for developing a program that is helping to nurture and support our youth!

Amazing work with the youths not only the once in the program but it has impacted the community as a whole

My granddaughter has been a part of Project Promise for 3 years. She has learnt so much since she had joined. I have travelled along with them on several field trips around the island, to places I would never think of going. During the aftermath of Hurricane Maria we received several donations. I am extremely grateful to Project Promise for blessing my family.

Project Promises has been such a blessing to our daughter. There is such an improvement in her self-esteem and academic achievements. With the exposure she gets with this program her cultural awareness has also strengthened.
Thank You Project Promise!

Project promise is a program that helps many children in needs, my grandchildren is prof of that thank you project promise

Hi my name is Carmen and J'Neelah Daniel is my daughter she is part of this wonderful program project promise and I wouldn't pick no other! They very efficient and helpful and involved with my daughter regular life and academics! Ms. Oriley is best we are like a big happy family!

Project Promise has done such wonderful things for the youth in their Program. I have seen one of the young ladies blossom from a below average student that was very shy and self conscious to a confident honor student. With the help of her Mentor and the program facilitator she and other students have been able to learn and grow and also know that they are not alone in their journey for a better education.

Project Promise was extremely instrumental in bringing to life the vision of Mrs Faye John-Baptist for a Children's Memorial Garden at the Juan F Luis Hospital on St Croix. I was contacted by Project Promise in March of 2017, as they saw fit for such a garden to be dedicated to my son Asa who we lost to crohns in November 2016, and other children loved and lost too soon.
They not only initiated the work , but also committed to maintaining and beautifying this peaceful garden. The leadership along with the Caterpillars of Project Promise also partners with others in projects to enhance our community on St Croix. They are a loving, caring, hardworking group whose efforts and achievements are deeply appreciated and applauded.

Project Promise has given back to the St.Croix community with many community service projects to help beautify and enhance our island beaches,parks and Hospital to name a few.Project Promise has gone above and beyond especially evident after Hurricane Maria destroyed the island to help rebuild the lives of her students ,their families and our community. Project Promise has even helped children in South Africa in need of decent education. Ms.O'Reilly continues to
work diligently to improve the lives of her students and our community as a whole. Thank you Project Promise!

Strategic in its approach. Effective in the results! Literally the village concept!
Project promise deserves our support and much more. Amazing organization!
