America’s Promise announces a new ten-year initiative around dropout prevention – Grad Nation!
What is Grad Nation?
On March 1, 2010, General Colin Powell, America’s Promise Alliance Chair Alma Powell and U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced the formation of Grad Nation. Grad Nation is a 10-year campaign to mobilize the nation as never before to reverse the dropout crisis and enable our children to be prepared for success in college, work and life.

Why Grad Nation?
As Education Secretary Arne Duncan has stated, education is the civil rights issue of our generation. We must come together to create a more equitable, hopeful, and prosperous future for every child and for our nation.
What Can You Do?
There is no “they” in this effort. There is only “we.” There are important roles for everyone, whether an individual, a business, or a national organization.
