What is a Community of Promise?

A Community of Promise is dedicated to fulfilling the Five Promises* for every child and youth in their community. A Community of Promise is a community where youth are a policy priority; where there is an effective cross-sector collaboration working on behalf of children and youth; and where young people are valued and fully engaged as leaders and resources.

• Accountability. Adopting the Five Promises as the framework for visioning, common outcomes, and strategic planning.
