Well-Being
More than two-thirds of America's young people ages 6-17 are not receiving enough of the Five Promises to be confident of success. Too many are not ready to enter school and fail once they enter, are physically unfit, engage in negative behaviors, or are a victim of abuse and neglect. We must do more!
Alcohol, Drug & Violence Prevention
The Partnership's roots lie in violence prevention and efforts to reduce alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse. These problems evolved over decades, and changes in attitudes and behaviors do not happen quickly. Yet, our local and regional programming has made a difference.
