Kalamazoo Promise

The Kalamazoo Promise is such a unique and innovative program that many people and organizations are interested in its impact on the Kalamazoo Public Schools, the Kalamazoo community, the students, their families, and a vast number of other items.

One of the reasons Kalamazoo is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the Promise is the presence of the W. E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research and Western Michigan University research resources.

In order to facilitate the numerous research requests the Upjohn Institute has been designated as the lead organization for these efforts.

In addition Western Michigan University has also taken the lead in initiating numerous research and support activities related to the Promise. The link below will take you to their portal on the Kalamazoo Promise.
