Mission

To mobilize people from every sector of American life to build the character and competence of our nation's youth by fulfilling Five Promises for young people:

• Ongoing relationships with caring adults in their lives - parents, mentors, tutors, or coaches;
• Safe places with structured activities during nonschool hours;
• Healthy start and future;
• Marketable skills through effective education; and
• Opportunities to give back through community service.
