ProvPlan's programs focus on helping families in need to get a leg up on the road to economic self-sufficiency and break the cycle of poverty.
In practice, this means preparing children to get the most out of their educations and working with adults to get the training they need to find meaningful careers.
Our Programs
The Providence Plan has four distinct programmatic initiatives, each of which address the needs of residents at the same time they work to advance meaningful systems-change.
Currently, our initiatives are focused on issues related to workforce development, education, and the state's nonprofit sector.
