Mission Statement:
The April 1997 Presidents’ Summit for America’s Future provided a national call to action. As a result, many communities across the country are now mobilizing to fulfill these Five Promises for children and youth: 1) Caring adults in their lives, as parents, mentors, tutors, coaches 2) Safe places with structured activities during nonschool hours 3)Healthy start and future 4)Marketable skills through effective education 5)Opportunities to give back through community service. These Five Promises contain the seeds for a national movement capable of advancing the health and well-being of the next generation. Through America's Promise, thousands of caring Americans are building a vast and growing national youth movement.
