About the Akron Promise City Series
Started in 2022, the Akron Promise “City Series” aims to promote health, exploration of our city, growth and support the various participant organizations throughout Akron. Please consider participating (in person, virtually, or as a volunteer) in as many as you can. Medals will be awarded to people who participate in at least five of the events.

We do this by helping students and families access appropriate educational supports, resources, and opportunities.
