LANSING PROMISE

At the Lansing Promise we believe.

We believe in the inherent value and worth of every young person in this city.

We believe in the power of education to transform lives and to uplift communities.

And we believe in the vision Dr. King so eloquently cast more than 55 years ago:

"I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their
bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their
spirits." - Dr. King, Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, 1964

At the Lansing Promise we imagine a community where every young person has the opportunity to dream,
the ability to thrive and the love, support and investment needed to build a brighter future. For themselves,
their families and their community.

Thank you Dr. King for the audacity to hope, for "Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope." And it is
upon that corner stone we will build this next generation.

Join us and together we'll see change in our lifetimes. For more information visit www.LansingPromise.org

Dean Transportation is proud to join the
movement and support the Lansing Promise.
