Our Molding of Generation Z Summer Program incorporates the Five Promises of America's Promises to our young people. We mold them through education and empowerment. Incorporating these promises, we know that our youth are more likely to transition successfully to young adulthood, college and/or career-readiness. #AmericasPromises #FivePromises #MoldingofGenerationZ
THE 5 PROMISES CHANGE LIVES (americaspromise.org)
PROMISE NO.1
Caring Adults
Caring adults are the centerpieces of children’s development. They serve as guides, caretakers and advisers, who give positive and productive guidance throughout their development.
PROMISE NO.2
Safe Places
To develop intellectually and emotionally, young people need physical and psychological safety at home, at school and in the community. Without such “safe places” – environments that support and encourage inquiry, exploration, and play without fear of harm – children aren’t able to get support, form positive relationships and concentrate on school.
PROMISE NO.3
A Healthy Start
Healthy and well-nourished children are more able to develop their minds and bodies as they should, and they are far more capable of concentrating, learning and thriving throughout their school years.
PROMISE NO.4
Effective Education
Our increasingly knowledge-driven world demands people who have the education and skills to thrive in a competitive marketplace, and to understand the increasingly complex world in which they live. That means that in order to compete and succeed, all young people will need an effective education that prepares them for work and life.
PROMISE NO.5
Opportunities to Help Others
Through service to others, young Americans develop the character and competence they need to be helpful, hopeful and civically engaged all their lives, regardless of their own life circumstances.
