Call to Action

We need a national vision for youth anchored in the belief that all young people should have equitable access to the promise and prosperity of America. This belief should guide our priorities, our policies, and our actions as individuals in a caring community and as a nation. It should resonate across all levels of government and at the grassroots of community service delivery. Our nation must commit to realizing that vision by making the investments at the scale needed until we eliminate education and labor market disparities for poor and minority youth. It is about more than just funding. We must rethink our systems, policies, relationships, and take collective responsibility. Solutions must be bold, systemic, and collaborative. Every sector of the community and every youth-serving system should mobilize to be part of the solution.
