Mobilizing our state to build the character and competence of children and youth by fulfilling the Five Promises of America's Promise.

The Iowa Collaboration for Youth Development (ICYD), the backbone of Iowa's Promise, has adopted the America’s Promise framework to communicate a common and powerful message to Iowans about the importance and value of providing children and youth with the services, opportunities, and supports they need to succeed in life.

By mobilizing Iowans to fulfill the Five Promises we believe that we can improve the lives of young people throughout the state. Communities of Promise are essential partners in these efforts and provide a mechanism to fufill our commitment to children and youth.
