Promenade is a non -profit organization and in years with high enrollment, we have excess funds to share with others in our community.
We like to support Mecklenburg County charities that serve the same age groups that we serve, and will give an unexpected grant that they can use for extra support.
- In 2011, we donated $20,000 to The Relatives to help fund the creation of their On Ramp resource center for troubled teens.
- In 2016, we gave $20,000 to The Relatives and they purchased a van that they use to pick up runaway and at-risk teens to provide safe shelter.
- In 2019, we gave $10,000 to Freedom School Partners to purchase more books and tablets to give their Student Leader Interns.
- In 2024 we donated $10,000 each to HopeWay for technology for their new Teen Center, and to Phillips Academy for technology for their newly renoved space.
Classes
Promenade loves to get out into the community! We enjoy doing classes at schools, churches and community groups.
We have done a seminar at Bradford Preparatory School for the senior class. Linda Booth gave them tips and skills to take them on to their next steps in life.
We have done a workshop for the seventh and eighth grade students at Our Lady of Assumption Catholic School to get them ready for a class trip to Washington DC and their next steps in life.
Additionally, we have done classes for fifth graders at Eastover Elementary School.
We love to work with community partners! For further information, contact us.
