Lafayette Colorado was recognized by America’s Promise Alliance as being one of the 101 best communities in America for young people. America’s Promise Alliance was founded by Colin Powell and his wife. It’s a partnership comprised of corporations, non-profits, foundations, policymakers, advocacy and faith groups committed to ensuring that children receive the Five Promises: caring adults; safe place; a healthy start; an effective education; and opportunities to help others –at home, in school and in the community.
