Liberty's Promise supports low-income, immigrant youth by providing them with a means to become actively involved in civic life, pursue higher education, and embark upon meaningful careers. Each year, 800 participants take part in an after-school civics program that enriches their understanding of American democracy and provides first-hand experience: meeting local leaders (many are immigrants themselves), visiting government and municipal offices, and volunteering in the community. A Spanish language version of the program for English language learners builds skills that will help them succeed. Navigating the path to college and careers is central to the curriculum and some 100 youth also secure 8-week professional internships where they learn about the American workplace. Liberty’s Promise has helped thousands of youth from more than 120 countries learn about and feel at home in the United States. An investment here builds a stronger America for everyone.
