UrbanPromise is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Camden, New Jersey, operating in the strategic management services sector. It began in 1988 as a spin-off of the Evangelical Association for the Promotion of Education, evolving from a single summer camp into a broader set of programs led by figures such as Dr. Tony Campolo and Bruce Main. Its mission is to equip children and teens with academic, life-management, spiritual, and leadership skills rooted in Christian faith, delivered through after-school programs, summer camps, alternative schools, and job training initiatives. A distinctive feature is the involvement of local teenagers, known as StreetLeaders, in tutoring and mentoring younger children, creating a leadership pathway within the community. UrbanPromise also maintains an international dimension through UrbanPromise International, indicating an expanded footprint beyond Camden.
