America's Promise Alliance

Toolkit: Media and Communications

One of the core purposes of holding a dropout prevention summit is to raise awareness of the crisis and mobilize leaders from all sectors to commit to working together to help all young people graduate from high school ready for college, work and life.

These tools are designed to help you maximize awareness of your event and the dropout issue.
