Promise Places
Does your organization deliver all Five Promises to the young people it serves, or do you know one that does?
If the answer is "yes," then apply to be designated a Promise Place and receive national visibility from America's Promise Alliance as well as recognition materials to build local awareness.
The Five Promises are those developmental resources - wrap-around supports- that young people need for success in life:
- Caring Adults
- Safe Places
- A Healthy Start
- An Effective Education
- Opportunities to Help Others
A Promise Place can be a school, community organization, church, business, or any other organization that provides all Five Promises to young people in their community. Additionally, Promise Places serve as models for other local organizations across the country, inspiring others to take action on behalf of youth by raising awareness of local outlets providing the Five Promises to young people.
Youth who receive four of the Five Promises are far more likely to be successful, twice as likely to get A’s, twice as likely to avoid violence, and 40 percent more likely to volunteer. Receiving four of the Five Promises has the potential to level the playing field for youth across racial and economic lines.
