Mission & Goal:
The Alliance connects individuals and agencies to ensure that all children in Yellowstone County have caring adults, a healthy start, safe places, an effective education, and the opportunity to serve. The goal of the alliance is to prevent youth substance abuse and other risky behavior.
Caring Adults
Ongoing relationships with caring adults — parents, mentors, tutors or coaches — offer youth support, care and guidance.
Safe Places
Safe places with structured activities during non-school hours provide both physical and emotional safety for youth.
A Healthy Start
Adequate nutrition, exercise, and health care pave the way for healthy bodies, healthy minds, and smart habits for adulthood.
Effective Education
Marketable skills through effective education help youth navigate the transition from school to work successfully.
Opportunity to Help Others
Opportunities to give back through community service enhance self-esteem, boost confidence and heighten a sense of responsibility to the community.
Research shows that if the Five Promises, as defined by America’s Promise, are consistently fulfilled, they can significantly advance the health and well-being of the next generation – increasing the chances of youth becoming successful adults.
