Bham Now recently featured Danny McKinney, the chair of the Birmingham Promise board, in an article that highlighted his investments in Birmingham’s future — among them, his commitment to Birmingham Promise and its mission.

“The secret sauce with the Birmingham Promise is the success coaches, which are there to support our scholars throughout the college experience. We have a lot of first time college students who have questions or need extra support, whether it’s academic or personal,” McKinney told Bham Now. “We also work with a lot of businesses in town on internships and apprenticeships, because it’s really about setting up young people for long term success and finding great jobs. There are a lot of ways to do that — it doesn’t always have to be a traditional four year degree program.”

We are grateful for his support and his leadership!
