Our Mission- Reading proficiency for all Haverhill kids.

Haverhill Promise is a cross-sector collaboration between schools, nonprofits, teachers, parents, health entities, early education providers, the library, community leaders, and businesses that are interested in playing a role in ensuring that all Haverhill students have the tools necessary to achieve grade-level reading by the end of third grade.

Haverhill Promise serves as a thought partner to community stakeholders and leaders through the lens of collective impact. Haverhill Promise works both through systems level and grassroots change. Through local partnerships, our goal is to see improved outcomes and effective coordination across the city. Our key roles are to advocate, convene and build community, align efforts with established research and coordinated local initiatives, and strengthen early literacy networks and leaders across Haverhill.
