Grad Nation Communities


Grad Nation Communities are at the front line of efforts to help young people succeed in school, work and life. They are part of an initiative launched in September 2011 to recognize communities across the nation for their efforts in support of our Grad Nation campaign. We encourage all communities to join us. Grad Nation Communities not only participate in the campaign but also benefit from it.

About the Initiative

Grad Nation Communities are committed to ending the high school dropout crisis that affects one in four public school children.

List of Communities

Communities, from neighborhoods to cities, can play a vital role in bringing together people from all walks of life to create local solutions to the national high school dropout crisis.

Benefits for Communities

The communities receive a variety of support to help end the dropout crisis, including access to knowledge, communications tools and opportunities for networking with other communities and Alliance Partners.

Priorities for Action

America’s Promise Alliance has developed priorities for action to help focus local efforts. Grad Nation Communities choose at least three of these as part of their commitment to the Grad Nation campaign.
