Launching the Hazel Park Promise Zone Mentoring Program

School and community members gathered May 2nd to launch our Promise Zone mentoring program. More than 40  graduating Hazel Park High School seniors were matched with volunteers who will provide guidance to them throughout the next 12 months as they transition into life after high school. We are excited to see the results of this new program and the impact it will have on our students' success!

Thank you for supporting our annual race to college fundraising dinner, and congratulations to shawn fain!

Thank you to all who supported our 6th Annual Race to College fundraising dinner at the UAW Chrysler National Training Center. We appreciate your partnership and continued engagement! We also congratulate Shawn Fain, our 2019 William C. Hitchcock Promise Zone Service Awardee. Shawn was one of the key leaders who worked together to establish the UAW Chrysler School-to-Work skilled trades training program, now in its third year and exclusively serving Hazel Park students. Shawn has gone above and beyond in his commitment to the School to Work students and their families, and for this we cannot thank him enough!

Welcoming back Moussa Traore as our first-ever success coach

We are ecstatic to welcome Moussa Traore back to the Hazel Park Promise Zone team as our first ever Postsecondary Success Coach. Moussa previously served as the Hazel Park High School college adviser during the 2016-17 and 2017-18 school years, during which times he assisted graduating seniors in collectively being offered record-high scholarship dollars. In his new role, Moussa will work closely with Hazel Park alumni as they transition out of high school and into postsecondary programs, assisting with any academic or non-academic barriers to success which they might face.
