Youth Engagement

Youth are an integral part of the America’s Promise Alliance. They provide fresh perspectives, energy and enthusiasm, and close connections with peers and young children. Across the country, young people are working hard to fulfill the Five Promises in many ways: volunteering and organizing projects; speaking up for what kids need; getting their friends involved. America's Promise values not only the actions of young people, but also their leadership. Click the links below to learn about opportunities to get involved with America's Promise, incredible stories of young leaders around the country, and resources to help you help more children and youth get more of the Promises they need, including information about the new My Idea Grants program.

The Impact Network for America’s Promise

The Impact Network, the Alliance’s network of young leaders serving with an Alliance Partner, unites and empowers youth to take action through and with the support of Alliance partners to address the challenges facing their communities.

My Idea Grants

AT&T and America’s Promise Alliance unleashed the power of young people to become a critical part of the solution in reversing the dropout crisis and improving outcomes for themselves and their peers. AT&T’s $1 million contribution to the Alliance to fund the re-granting initiative has enabled them to provide young people nationwide with the opportunity to develop and implement their own ideas for increasing the nation’s graduation rate. More than just building awareness, there was a call to action for young people to propose solutions to the dropout crisis with two types of My Idea grants.
