America’s Youth Need a Jobs Forum, Too

December 4, 2009  |  News Release

The Campaign for Youth is calling for a national youth initiative to create jobs and provide paid work experiences in the public, nonprofit and private sectors, so that youth can earn income and benefit from occupational and workplace skills, experiences, and training that would improve their ability to compete in the labor market.

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!

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.
