Forward Promise is a brand dedicated to empowering young people of color and the communities that nurture them. They believe in the concept of thriving, where young people and their villages can flourish. To achieve this, Forward Promise adopts healing practices that are rooted in the culture and values of the communities they serve.

By countering the effects of dehumanization, they create protective factors that promote the healthy development of individuals and communities. Dehumanization, through narratives, policies, and practices, can hinder the potential of people of color and threaten their well-being. Forward Promise and its network of grantees address these challenges with solutions that affirm humanity and are culturally relevant.

Their website offers a range of resources, including articles and podcasts, that shed light on important topics such as racism and COVID-19.
