RECONNECT AMERICA'S YOUTH

The Campaign for Youth focuses attention on the needs of young people who are out of work, out of school and out of the mainstream. Campaign for Youth advocates for the expansion of those opportunities and supports that prepare youth for their future roles as workers, parents, civic leaders and engaged members of caring communities.

WHY WE NEED TO ACT!

More than 5.4 million youth (ages 16 – 24) are not in school and do not have a job! According to the March 2010 BLS report, only 38 percent of high school dropouts ages 16 to 24 are employed.

MEET OUR LEADERSHIP

The Campaign for Youth brings together national and local youth policy leaders to create a strong collective voice that transcends individual organizational agendas to promote actionable solutions for youth.
