Americas Promise-The Alliance For Youth

Alliance growth & partner cities- as we continue to grow our alliance, this hybrid, local-national network is designed to support a more aligned and coordinated nonprofit community, while specifically creating greater connectivity, collaboration, and collective action opportunities for smaller and more proximate youth-supporting organizations within each city. Local and more proximate organizations have historically had more limited access than national organizations to the types of supports needed to organize and scale their impact.leadership development, capacity building, and other supports are expensive for organizations with smaller budgets, and in many cases, those supports are offered exclusively by large national foundations to their grantees.our partner city strategy exists to meet this need, and by advancing the development of local organizations and their leaders we can simultaneously accelerate the development of the field at large.during 2024, america's promise launched two partner cities: atlanta and denver.

Collective action initiatives- each year, we engage our community in a structured process to identify, develop, and launch new multi-organization collaborations. This includes idea generation, expert review, initiative design, fundraising, and ongoing stewardship. Member organizations are invited to participate in ideation and join emerging initiatives, supported by the trusted relationships we cultivate. During 2024, america's promise began the design of four multi-organization collaborations: the institute for youth mental health, outcomes transparency for nondegree postsecondary pathways, teacher certification program and nonprofit-higher education innovation alliance.
