URBAN LEGENDS

StreetLeader Alumni Leading the Way to College & Career Success 

At UrbanPromise, we believe that first-generation college students are called to pioneer.

Through Urban Legends, we walk alongside our StreetLeaders post-high school graduation, guiding them as they navigate college, careers, and adulting.

Program Pillars

  • CSUN Students, B2F Students, Campus Meetup, Alumni Support Program

    Quarterly Meet-Ups

    StreetLeader Alumni stay connected to each other & community via local meet-ups. Each meet-up focuses on a key area of support - social, emotional, spiritual, or financial.

  • Financial Foundations

    UrbanPromise walks alongside our alumni each year to renew their FAFSA or CA Dream Act, build credit, file taxes, and find additional scholarships and summer internships, empowering them with tools for financial stability and success.

  • Sustained Service

    Our committed Urban Legends stay engaged in service at UPLA - leading StreetLeader development sessions, supporting seniors in scholarship applications, and sharing their stories on panels that inspire and equip.

  • Summer Internships

    Alumni are invited to return for paid summer internships as StreetLeader coaches, using their own camp and StreetLeader experience to coach the next class of leaders while exploring the leadership side of nonprofits!
