密歇根新闻广播 新卡拉马祖通过倾听居民意见来解决代际贫困问题

 

The city of Kalamazoo has made headlines with its unique Kalamazoo Promise: anonymous¹ donors² pledging to pay up to 100 percent of college tuition for the kids who graduate from the city's public schools.

Here comes another effort: Shared Prosperity Kalamazoo. The vision? Turn Kalamazoo into a community where no adult or child is left behind because of poverty or inequality of opportunity.
