Promise Zone
October 25, 2017

The Northern Plains ONAP supports two Promise Zone communities – the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota and the Pride of the Great Plains Promise Zone consisting of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and the Spirit Lake Tribe. Promise Zones are high poverty communities where the federal government partners with local leaders to increase economic activity, improve educational opportunities, leverage private investment, reduce violent crime, enhance public health and address other priorities identified by the community. All Promise Zones receive priority access to federal investments that further their strategic plans, federal staff on the ground to help them implement their goals, and full-time AmeriCorps VISTA members to recruit and manage volunteers and strengthen the capacity of the Promise Zone initiatives.
