Jubilee Park & Community Center awarded nearly $1 million federal grant to lead transformative initiative
For the first time in Dallas history, a local organization has secured a highly competitive federal grant aimed at transforming the educational and economic future of an entire community. Jubilee Park & Community Center has been awarded a $992,003 Promise Neighborhoods Grant from the U.S. Department of Education—one of only seven awarded nationwide this year.
This groundbreaking initiative, known as the Jubilee Park Promise Neighborhood Initiative (PNI), will provide cradle-to-career support for students in Southeast Dallas, ensuring they not only access higher education but also complete their degrees and enter stable, well-paying careers. With this funding, Jubilee will expand its impact beyond early childhood and K-8 programming, offering targeted resources for high school and post-secondary students in the Woodrow Wilson High School attendance zone.
It’s a historic step– not just for Jubilee Park, but for the entire region. And for students striving to break cycles of generational poverty, it’s a promise of real opportunity.
