Share A proven, successful framework for communities to improve outcomes for opportunity youth-the nearly 7 million Americans between 16 and 24 who are neither employed nor in school. Opportunity youth face a range of challenges: low performing schools, limited community resources, a lack of family support, and inadequate assistance from systems charged with serving them.

The Corps Network believes that youth corps can provide "On Ramps" for Opportunity Youth to reconnect to the mainstream. We help provide a voice and assistance to this group of people who must overcome more barriers than others to have success in life.
Proud to be part of #100kOpportunities initiative buiding on #OYIF creating pathways to employment for young people. http://t.co/xdnNnyXxEI Mon 13th Jul 15 18:47
