The Indianola Promise Community (IPC) is a community-based initiative to provide children with the opportunity to succeed in school, graduate, and attend college. While it is sponsored by Delta Health Alliance, its many local partners include: Indianola School District, City of Indianola, Delta State University, B.B. Our offi
ce is located at 135 Front Street in Indianola, though we have staff and volunteers working throughout the city. And while we sponsor many programs, we have one priority – making sure children in Indianola have the opportunities they need to excel, so they “never miss a beat” from birth to college graduation. IPC unites health care, education, government, community, and faith-based services to develop a “pipeline” of resources, from prenatal care through high school and college graduation, creating a path for students to gain meaningful careers and earn financial independence. We want to ensure Indianola children are ready for school, that students who need help get help quickly, and that young people stay in school through graduation and transition to postsecondary education. IPC offers a collective approach, with programs and services complementing and building on each other in a coordinated fashion. Each program will be rigorously assessed against objectives and goals, to ensure its success. Ultimately, this project can break the cycle of poverty.
