Communities In Schools National Office was featured recently in an ABC News 'Good Morning America' segment for their new “Being Present Matters” public service campaign, highlighting the nationwide epidemic of chronic absenteeism and the solutions they offer to eradicate it. “Being present for our students is more than just showing up—it's about sending a powerful message that they matter and that we believe in their potential,” said Alliance Board Member, Rey Saldana, President and CEO of Communities In Schools. “When we show up for them, we empower them to show up for themselves.” Watch here: https://hubs.la/Q02P_LWj0

We are building a powerful community of the most inspiring youth-supporting organizations.
About us
America’s Promise Alliance was founded in 1997 by five U.S. Presidents and General Colin Powell. After a quarter century, America’s Promise Alliance is at a pivotal and exciting stage in its evolution, launching a comprehensive next chapter and new strategy. Our Alliance is a community of the leading non-profits working in K-12 education, postsecondary to workforce pathways, and democracy and civic engagement. All member organizations enroll their CEO and executive teams in our community. Over the last two years, 100 organizations and 500+ leaders have joined us in this effort. We add annual value to these organizations by helping them improve, through an integrated model of leadership development, knowledge sharing, and capacity building. Senior leaders of our member organizations build trust, relationships and the habits for working together and consistently reinforce the practical benefits of sharing and collaboration across organizations. We then use the “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.

"All of us, often, are in spaces, where we feel like we don't have enough and have to do a lot with a little. That scarcity mindset can be limiting in terms of our ability to think expansively about partnerships and how we learn from and grow with each other. That's happened very organically in the community that I've been able to build within the Alliance, and I'm excited about what that means for our sector at-large, because we are all part of a broader ecosystem." - Carmita Semaan, Founder & CEO, The Surge Institute

Meet Andrea Glauber, who recently joined the America's Promise Alliance team as our new Director of Collective Action! Andi brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from her previous roles in the education sector and equity space. Welcome, Andi! We are thrilled to have you on our team. Andi shares: "I have always been passionate about working with young people and having a positive impact on my community. I started my career in international relations, supporting the creation of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Coming out of that, I wanted to contribute to Goal #4 of ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education for all, so I became a high school teacher through Teach For America and have since served in multiple roles throughout the education sector. I was drawn to this role supporting APA’s collective action work, because all of our Alliance community members are working in such creative and innovative ways to empower young people. I believe that launching these new, multi-org collaborations will amplify that work and shape the youth-serving social sector into a space that is more equitable and effective." https://hubs.la/Q02PxBHs0

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, and September is recognized as Suicide Prevention Month. Tragically, suicide is the second-leading cause of death for teens and young adults ages 10 to 34 (CDC, 2023), and 1 in 3 (36.2%) young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 have experienced a mental, behavioral, or emotional health issue in the past year (SAMHSA, 2023). As a community comprising more than 100 of the nation’s leading nonprofits working to improve outcomes for young people, the Alliance is deeply committed to supporting our member organizations working in the mental health and suicide prevention space. As Alliance leader, Gary Ivory, President and CEO of Youth Advocate Programs, Inc., shared in his recent Forbes piece, "By intervening and helping our young people improve their mental health, we can help them live to their fullest potential and positively contribute to society so that our nation can thrive." We’re grateful to support our member organizations working tirelessly each day to bring attention to and advocate for young people’s mental health, including Active Minds, Inc., The Jed Foundation (JED), Our Minds Matter, Uprooted Academy, and Youth Advocate Programs, Inc.. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for 24/7 free, confidential help. https://hubs.la/Q02PpXRG0
