Carnegie Defined The Need

For a free copy of the 12-page executive summary of Carnegie’s authoritative study that brought into focus, nationwide, the need for innovative programs for at risk pre-adolescents, e-mail your address to PACT at mentors@pactla.org

Since that study - A Matter of Time - Risk and Opportunity in Non-School hours - published by the Carnegie Corporation of New York in 1992, funding for Middle School age programs is said to have increased 25%. That study was, undoubtedly, important to the formation of Americas 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.
