Carnegie Defined The Need
Since Carnegie Corporation of New York's study - "A Matter of Time - Risk and Opportunity in Non-School hours" - published in 1992, funding for Middle School age programs is said to have increased 25%. That study was, undoubtedly, important to the formation of "America's Promise - The Alliance for Youth", backed by four US Presidents and founded with General Colin Powell. PACT's video includes their urgings at the founding of America's Promise in 1997.

These organizations are among the resources PACT has turned to help us guide our youngsters through the vulnerable Middle School years of childhood with enthusiasms for life that can carry them beyond turning tough in their teens.
