LOCAL Closer Look: Huntsville Village of Promise

Jack Church spoke with Dana Gillis, CEO for Village of Promise in Huntsville. Village of Promise thru a number of education and empowerment programs helps families advance out of poverty using a multigenerational approach, promising support through a continuum of services and inspiring them to achieve their goals and contribute to their community. Gillis said that while pre school age children are a large part of the focus, it is imperative that parents are also fully engaged and active in the program to insure success in escaping generational poverty.


“Our goal is to be the center of best practices for how to advance Huntsville families out of poverty. We do this by identifying a segment of the community—the Northwoods neighborhood—and moving the needle for families in a multi-generational effort.”
— Dana M. Gillis, CEO, Village of Promise
