America’s Promise Alliance is the nation’s largest network dedicated to improving the lives of children and youth. Through its signature effort, the GradNation campaign, America’s Promise harnesses the collective power of 400 national organizations and thousands of community leaders to mobilize Americans to raise the high school graduation rate to 90 percent by 2020.
Devoted to helping create the conditions for success for all young people, including the millions currently being left behind, America’s Promise is powered by the belief that all children are capable of learning and thriving, and that every individual, institution and sector shares the responsibility to help young people succeed.
Building on the legacy of its Founding Chairman General Colin L. Powell and currently led by Board Chair Alma Powell, America’s Promise is grounded in the framework of the Five Promises -- caring adults, safe places, a healthy start, an effective education and opportunities to serve.
