Make a commitment to Anchorage’s youth today!
I support the goal of 90% on-time high school graduation by 2020! I know it will take both bold actions and simple things to achieve the goal. I believe we all have a role to play. I believe I can and WILL make a difference.

* Get to know favorite hobbies of my neighbor kids, so I can ask about their specific interests, when I see them on the street.
* Make a special effort to have a conversation with our friend's children, when we are visiting. (Ideally one-on-one if its practical)
