We are a “by us, for us” practitioners’ community of the leading youth-supporting nonprofits.
Our Alliance leverages the collective wisdom and power that exists in our field to address the most important issues facing the next generation.
We are a community of the most inspiring youth-supporting organizations working in education, workforce, and in our democracy.
We work together to strengthen our individual organizations, to launch new multi-organizational collaborations, and conduct member-engaged, youth-centered annual research. Our community is grounded in a commitment of radical support among leaders and organizations.
About Our Community
of Alliance leaders think their participation in this community has made them a better leader.
How It Works
Each member organization enrolls their CEO and full executive team into our community. We add annual value to member organizations by helping them improve, through an integrated model of leadership development, knowledge sharing, and capacity building.
We do all of this programming in cohorts of leaders and organizations, allowing us to systematically build trust and relationships over time and to consistently reinforce the practical and powerful benefits of sharing and collaboration across organizations.
We then use that “culture of the collective” in our community to ideate, design, and launch multi-organization collaborations, focused on opportunities in our issue areas that are too large or too complex for any one organization to address on its own. APA then designs, funds, and launches those initiatives.
