Americas Promise Alliance - Our Work: Our Work
With more than 300 national partner organizations and their local affiliates, the Alliance is uniquely positioned to mobilize Americans to act. Through hands-on, multi-sector collaboration, we are changing the way organizations do business, and magnifying their power to make a sustainable difference for young people. We have made a top priority of ensuring that all young people graduate from high school ready for college, work and life through an on-going Dropout Prevention initiative. Our work involves raising awareness, encouraging action and engaging in advocacy to provide children the key supports we call the Five Promises:
* Caring adults such as parents, teachers, mentors, coaches and neighbors
* Safe places that offer constructive activities when young people are not in school
* A healthy start and healthy development
* An effective education that prepares young people for college and work
* Opportunities to help others through service
