EKU is working in partnership with 24 rural Appalachian school districts to implement six new programs to fulfill the Five Promises by:

Assisting the 24 school districts and more than 5,000 youth in developing a formal community collaborative infrastructure within EKU sites

Continuing to foster, within EKU’s university-school-community partnerships, cooperative and coordinated working relationships to ensure that the needs of the community’s young people are identified and met

Designating an individual to coordinate the partnership for each site

Expanding Project HEALTH (see Project HEALTH entry in database) to Brown University and academic institutions in five other cities

Delivering resources to more than 2,100 children, 350 children in six additional cities that will benefit from Project HEALTH programs
