At the same time, the organization strives
to increase resources and individuals that are dedicated to fulfilling
all Five Promises that are a part of America's Promise.
America's Promise is a collaborative network that builds
upon the collective power of communities and partners to help fulfill
the Five Promises for every young person in America.
The
Five Promises
1. Caring Adults: Ongoing relationships
with caring adults — parents, mentors, tutors or coaches
— offer youth support, care and guidance.
2. Safe Places : Safe places with structured activities during
nonschool hours provide both physical and emotional safety for
youth.
3. A Healthy Start: Adequate nutrition, exercise, and health
care pave the way for healthy bodies, healthy minds, and smart
habits for adulthood.
4. Marketable Skills: Marketable skills through effective education
help youth navigate the transition from school to work successfully.
5. Opportunities to Serve: Opportunities to give back through
community service enhance self-esteem, boost confidence and heighten
a sense of responsibility to the community.
"I believe that every child is a child or promise, and
that all of us – working together as concerned citizens,
as caring communities – all of us can give young people
the tools to accomplish any goal or task they decide upon.”
-- America’s Promise Chair Mrs. Alma Powell
