Resources

Hundreds of youth, service providers and community members turned out for the Northeast Opportunity Youth conference in Hartford to share inspiration, resources, and stories and best practices in addressing the needs of Opportunity Youth — at-risk young people aged 18 to 24 not actively engaged in school or the workforce.

Aspen Opportunity Youth Institute

The Forum for Community Solutions launched the Opportunity Youth Forum in 2012 to leverage momentum of the opportunity youth movement coming out of the White House Council on Community Solutions. The Opportunity Youth Forum supports a network of over two dozen urban, rural, and tribal communities seeking to scale reconnection pathways that achieve better outcomes in education and employment for opportunity youth.


Reconnecting Youth Campaign

A collaborative campaign calling on Congress to invest in America’s future by funding 1 million pathways to education, training, national service and employment opportunities for Opportunity Youth, 16- to 24-year-olds who are not in school or work.
