Committed Partner Organizations

White Center Promise is fortunate to have many other committed community-based organizations, government officials and institutions partner with us.  They have been and continue to be instrumental at every level of the initiative from developing the continuum to working on data-sharing agreements, from offering in-kind resources to engaging residents in the work, and from funding assistance to event preparation.  These essential partners will be at the heart of our work as we move forward.
