America’s Promise Alliance is the driving force behind a nationwide movement to improve the lives and futures of America’s youth. By bringing together hundreds of national nonprofits, businesses, community and civic leaders, educators, citizens, and young people, the Alliance does what no single organization can do on its own: catalyze action on a scale that reaches millions of young people.
Our work is rooted in the belief that every young person deserves to succeed and every adult is responsible for making that happen, our campaign and initiatives align organizations behind a common vision for a better future and bold goals to reach it. Through this alignment, we spark and support collective action across organizations, communities, and individuals to overcome the barriers that stand in the way of young people’s success. These efforts have reached millions of young people:

Join the national and local movement to advance young people’s social, emotional, and cognitive development. America’s Promise is seeking five community conveners to inspire action on how learning happens. Research and experience show that young people are best prepared for life when their environments account for the social, emotional, and academic dimensions of learning. America’s Promise will select five communities that are already working to address young people’s comprehensive development and are poised to extend those efforts through intentional cross-sector collaboration. Each community will be awarded $30,000 to support planning and execution of the convening.
