America's Promise is an Alliance that brings together communities, individuals, companies and organizations from all sectors to improve the odds for children and youth. Members of this Alliance work together to change: 1) the public policies affecting children and youth, 2) the scale and scope of resources devoted to helping young people achieve their full potential and 3) the practice in the way that young people are served.

The Fellowship shares its vision with America's Promise which mobilizes people from every sector of American life to build the character and
competence of our nation's youth by fulfilling Five Promises:

1. Caring adults in their lives, as parents, mentors, tutors, coaches
2. Safe places with structured activities during non-school hours
3. Healthy start and future
4. Marketable skills through effective education
5. Opportunities to give back through community service.
