WHAT WE DO

Promise Neighborhoods of the Lehigh Valley (PNLV) is a Black-led, anti-racist, woman-centered liberation-based grassroots community organization that is led and staffed by neighborhood residents in Allentown, Pennsylvania. PNLV comprises a unique network whose role in our community is to promote consistent public health messaging, delivered by trusted community messengers. The mission of PNLV is to foster cooperation among residents within the Greater Lehigh Valley to create safe, healthy, vibrant, inclusive neighborhoods, where children succeed in school and where adults and families thrive and want to live.

Building Strong neighborhoods

PNLV focuses on inspiring hope, sense of belonging and agency across our neighborhoods. We practice Radical Welcome, enacting our belief that communities possess the assets and resources to be self-healing, and that everyone has something to contribute. Our secret sauce is commitment to responsive programming led by the people closest to the pain. PNLV residents are the designers, drivers, researchers and faces of programs.
