Tell Congress: Support the
Youth PROMISE Act!

The Youth PROMISE Act will provide our hardest hit communities around the country with the support and funding they need to effectively address youth violence issues. By specifically focusing on innovative, evidence-based violence prevention and intervention strategies, this bill ensures we are funding programs that save lives and give every young person the opportunity to meet his or her potential.

The Act will help engage and divert at-risk youth proactively — before they slip into cycles of violence, incarceration and despair.
