THESE "PROMISE PARTNERSHIPS" BUILD CRADLE-TO-CAREER INFRASTRUCTURE AND FOCUS THEIR EFFORTS IN NEIGHBORHOODS, COMMUNITIES, AND POPULATIONS WHERE THE NEEDS ARE GREATEST AND WHERE KEY PARTNERS ARE WILLING TO WORK TOGETHER. THE STRATEGIES, PROGRAMS, AND SERVICES IMPLEMENTED BY THESE PARTNERSHIPS (INVOLVING HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS, SCHOOLS AND BUSINESSES) HAPPEN THROUGH REGIONAL AND COMMUNITY-FOCUSED "COLLABORATIVE ACTION NETWORKS, AND THROUGH "COMMUNITY SCHOOLS OR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS THAT FUNCTION AS HUBS OF SERVICES AND SUPPORTS FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. UWSL ALSO OPERATES A 2-1-1 INFORMATION AND REFERRAL SERVICE. IN ADDITION, UWSL ALSO PROVIDES GRANTS TO A LIMITED NUMBER OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS WORKING OUTSIDE OF THE PROMISE PARTNERSHIPS.
