Mission Statement

Liberty's Promise supports young immigrants in need while encouraging them to be active and conscientious American citizens. Our programs aim to make the immigrant experience an affirmative one for young newcomers while instilling in them a sense of pride and support for American ideals of democracy and freedom. By doing so, Liberty’s Promise seeks to reaffirm our fundamental egalitarian and democratic traditions for future generations.

Description

The activitiies of Liberty's Promise center on civic engagement and professional internship placements for low-income, immigrant youth. Our 30-hour civic engagement program is a fun, interactive look at American community life. Through field trips to the courthouse, county government offices, and other sites, students gain first-hand knowledge of civic life and the benefits of civic participation.

In conjunction with the civics program, Liberty's Promise administers a professional internship program for young immigrants in pursuit of a fulfilling career. Liberty's Promise collaborates with government agencies, businesses, and nonprofit organizations to offer young immigrants eight-week internships in their field of interest. Youth who have completed the civics course are given priority for internship placements.
