There are 5.3 million young adults who are disconnected, meaning they are not in school and not working. We know there are solutions working in communities across the country that are re-engaging young adults every day. This conversation will elevate programs that work, and discuss how nonprofits and businesses are using innovative, evidence-based strategies to reconnect Opportunity Youth to education and jobs.
