Promise Fellows provide one-on-one and small group support to a group of students in a school or non-profit organization.

Minnesota Alliance With Youth works in partnership with youth to ensure that all young people have equitable educational opportunities that foster their individual assets, honor their voices, and prepare them for high school graduation. To further that mission, the Alliance hosts AmeriCorps Promise Fellows across the state.
