“Oakland Promise’s involvement in the coalition allows us to add to the overall mission of NCCPC — to support more students from underrepresented communities. There is power in joining together with other Promise organizations to support that goal.”
— Rachel Westmoreland,
Interim Executive Director for Oakland Promise
“I love the amazing connections made through NCCPC”
— Sally Buchanan, Special Projects for Rancho Cordova Promise
“NCCPC is changing the odds. It’s more than a coalition – it’s a demonstration and a MOVEMENT that brings community-rooted expertise to drive policy and partnerships that will shape trajectories of opportunity for students and communities for generations to come. It’s a privilege to be part of it!!”
