Recently, Mrs Alma Powell, chair of the America's Promise Alliance, launched a nationwide campaign to contain and reverse the adverse high school drop out crisis.
The new program is called 15 in 5. The idea is to reach 15 million mostly at risk young people in the next 5 years with the five promises.
The five promises are:
-Caring adults
-Safe places and constructive use of time
-Healthy start and development
-Effective education for marketable skills and lifelong learning
-Opportunities to make a difference through helping others.
We have created a link to the 15 in 5 Web site. This is a great site and offers outstanding resources for anyone interested in kids and their education.
The BTW Alumni Foundation is proud to link up with this initiative which is also central to our purpose.
Please share this information with others. It is clear that a commitment from the community is needed to improve not only our beloved BTW but more importantly, the lives of the children we treasure.
