Utah's Promise is the state's response to the national call to action by retired U.S. General Colin Powell to help our nation's children and youth through volunteer efforts. Utah leads the nation in the number of Communities of Promise (24), and Community Partners (42), that are actively working to bring into the lives of children and these youth five promises:

a caring adult safe places to learn and to grow a healthy start in life a marketable skill opportunities for service

Highlights

By the end of 2000, Utah’s Promise will have met four of its five statewide goals established in 1997. These goals include:

Assuring 12,000 children will be reading at third grade level who otherwise would not

Every community will have or will be part of a safe neighborhood council

Seventy-five percent of the state’s youth will volunteer a significant amount of time in service to others each month

The Utah Commission on Volunteers, which receives administrative support from the Division of Community Development, works to improve Utah communities through service and volunteering. Under the direction of the lieutenant governor, the Commission builds the volunteer infrastructure of our state by providing training and technical assistance, engaging in public/private partnerships, and overseeing the governor's Utah's Promise initiative, and increasing the number of Volunteer Centers.
