SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On March 11, 2009, the Congress passed the Omnibus Appropriations 
Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 111-8). The House Appropriations Committee Print, 
Division F--Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and 
Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations directed the Interagency 
Working Group on Youth Programs to solicit input from young people, 
State children's cabinet directors, and non-profit organizations on 
youth programs and policies; develop an overarching strategic plan for 
Federal youth policy; and prepare recommendations to improve the 
coordination, effectiveness, and efficiency of programs affecting 
youth.
    The Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs is comprised of 
staff from twelve Federal agencies that support programs and services 
that focus on youth: the U.S. Department of Agriculture; U.S. 
Department of Commerce; U.S. Department of Defense; U.S. Department of 
Education; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (Chair); U.S. 
Department of Housing and Urban Development; U.S. Department of Justice 
(Vice-Chair); U.S. Department of Labor; U.S. Department of the 
Interior; U.S. Department of Transportation; Corporation for National 
and Community Service; and Office of National Drug Control Policy.
    The Working Group seeks to promote achievement of positive results 
for at-risk youth through the following activities:
    <bullet> Promoting enhanced collaboration at the Federal, state, 
and local levels, including with faith-based and other community 
organizations, as well as among families, schools and communities, in 
order to leverage existing resources and improve outcomes;
    <bullet> Disseminating information about critical resources, 
including evidence-based programs, to assist interested citizens and 
decisionmakers, particularly at the community level, to plan, 
implement, and participate in effective strategies for at-risk youth;
    <bullet> Developing an overarching strategic plan for Federal youth 
policy, as well as recommendations for improving the coordination, 
effectiveness and efficiency of youth programs, using input from 
community stakeholders, including youth; and
    <bullet> Producing a Federal Web site, FindYouthInfo.gov, to 
promote effective community-based efforts to reduce the factors that 
put youth at risk and to provide high-quality services to at-risk 
youth.
