Coordinated by the Campaign for Youth, these organizations represent youth practitioners, policy makers, educators, advocates, community and faith-based institutions, and others who are concerned about the future for the millions of young people who have fallen outside of the education and labor market mainstream with little opportunity to reconnect.

Contained on this website is the memo, fact sheets,  briefing sheets, important links for each recommendation, and advocacy tools.  We encourage all to use this information and tools to heighten awareness of our disconnected youth problem and to advance the recommendations.

The committee coordinating the activities is co-chaired by Linda Harris, Center for Law and Social Policy and Sally Prouty, National Association of Service and Conservation Corps.  Members of the committee include: Connect for Kids, Forum for Youth Investment, Alliance for Excellent Education, National Collaboration for Youth, National Network for Youth, Fight Crime Invest in Kids, National Youth Employment Coalition,  National Foster Care Coalition, Youthbuild USA, and the Youth Law Center.
