A little Season 6 catch up! 💛

We’ve been a little quiet on here lately, but things have definitely not been quiet around UPN!

Season 6 is well underway, and we’ve welcomed more new students this fall than we have in recent years, along with a lot of new StreetLeaders who are learning what it means to show up, work together, and lead well. 👏🏼

It’s been a full few weeks of getting to know new faces, building relationships, and settling into our after-school rhythm. And we’re just getting started!

Want to see what we’ve been up to? 👀

We’re hosting two Come & See @ UPN days on October 20 & 28! Come spend an afternoon with us, meet our students and StreetLeaders, and experience the work for yourself.

Season 6 is well underway, and there are a lot of new faces around UPN. We have more new students than we've had in recent years, along with a large number of new StreetLeaders!

On Monday, we welcomed one more new student. Her family arrived in the U.S. just six months ago, one of the very few refugee families who have been able to enter the country over the past year and a half. Her mom shared that the transition has been hard and her daughter has been struggling at school. They've been prayerfully trying to figure out how to help her until they recently found out about UPN.

As her mom stood in our gym watching her daughter happily engage with our students and StreetLeaders, we shared more about what we do and why we do it. She told us that finding UPN felt like an answer to prayer.

On Monday, our sixth season begins. This past week, our building has been full again as StreetLeaders have gathered for orientation, training, and preparation for our students to return next week. We have three new staff members— including two former interns— a brand-new Program Assistant position, and more new StreetLeaders joining our team than we've had in years.

But there is one new StreetLeader we're especially excited about.

When we get this kind of message in our big UPN family group chat, our hearts can hardly take it. 🥹🤧

“Hey Y’all!! Just sharing this pic with y’all so you can see a little bit of our Welcoming Week as incoming Belmont students. The trio Street Leaders are here, alive, present, and figuring it out together..in case you’ve been wondering what we’ve been up to.

We’re nervous‑excited, tired‑happy, all the emotions at once, but we wanted to send this picture to show we’re well, we’re here, and despite everything going on, we’re nervous-excited for what’s ahead. And of course Marco, here, representing our UrbanPromise team!! 💐💛”

We are super proud of these three StreetLeader Alumni and we have no doubt they will represent us well Belmont University | Nashville, TN 🎵! Continuing to be part of their journey is such an honor. Can’t wait to watch you shine, Esther, Ingrid, and Marco! ✨🤩🤩🤩

Every morning at Camp Shine, before the field trips, games, and activities, our campers gathered in six age-based Circle Groups for a social-emotional check-in. These groups were designed to cultivate a stronger sense of belonging while supporting emotional health and well-being.

Each day, activities connected to our camp theme for the week and helped students connect with one another and themselves. They were given space to use creativity, express their feelings, and grow closer as a group.

They created art together, designed their own World Cup teams, talked through big feelings, and made each Circle Group space their own.

Starting our mornings this way became an important rhythm of camp—a chance to slow down, check in, listen, and be known.

Because learning how to name what you’re feeling, navigate hard things, work with others, and build healthy relationships matters long after summer camp ends. These are skills we hope our campers carry with them wherever they go. ☀️

We’re so grateful to everyone who helped make Camp Shine possible. 💛

Camp Shine 2026 ☀️

What a summer.
63 campers.
15 StreetLeaders.
Nearly 20 countries and people groups represented.
Four unforgettable weeks.

As we look back on Camp Shine, one word keeps coming to mind:

Joy.

Joy in friendships reunited.
Joy in new friendships formed.
Joy in StreetLeaders growing into who God created them to be.
Joy in children who felt welcomed, known, and deeply loved.

We believe joy is more than happiness. It’s a glimpse of the Kingdom of God breaking into ordinary places.

Thank you to everyone who prayed, volunteered, gave, and encouraged us this summer. You helped create a place where joy could flourish.

Here’s to year six. 💛

Behind every great StreetLeader at UPN is an adult who believes in them. 👏🏼

We’re hiring a StreetLeader Coordinator to walk alongside our high school students as they grow into leaders. From celebrating successes to navigating challenges, you’ll mentor, encourage, and support StreetLeaders as they prepare for college, careers, and the future God has for them.

This role is all about relationships—helping young people thrive both in our program and beyond it.

We’re looking for someone who is equally comfortable encouraging a student over coffee and coordinating the details that help them succeed. 🎉 If you love mentoring teenagers, are a great communicator, and believe in the power of consistent presence, we’d love to hear from you.
