The Eau Claire Promise Zone, a 501c3 non-profit organization, is a citywide grassroots coalition of community partners committed to doing “whatever it takes” to ensure all of our children are prepared to graduate from college and be successful in their career and in life. It is part of the nationwide “Promise Neighborhoods” movement, modeled after the groundbreaking work of Geoffrey Canada and his Harlem Children’s Zone. The mission of the ECPZ is to build an enduring pipeline to success for all children in the Promise Zone through community leadership, partnerships, coordination and action.
