Every CBO needs to have a solid plan and invest in it for their community’s future. • Involve each city’s mayor as a working agent vs. a partner • Recruit innovative or out of the box programs such as National Service, Teach for America, and etc. • Link Promise Community initiatives with other programs or initiatives statewide. • Allow our Promise Communities opportunities to showcase their planning or seeking funding by way of presentations to key constituents. • Community Planning needs community input Lessons We Are Learning
