SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Overview of the Interagency Working 

Group on Youth Programs and 

FindYouthInfo.gov 

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 atrisk youth through the following 

activities: 

• 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; 

• Disseminating information about critical 

resources, including evidence-based 

programs, to assist interested citizens and 

decision-makers, particularly at the 

community level, to plan, implement, and 

participate in effective strategies for at-risk 

youth; 

• 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 

• 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 highquality services to at-risk youth. 

II. Background on the Strategic Plan for 

Federal Youth Policy 

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 nonprofit 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 developed a framework 

to guide development of the strategic 

plan for Federal youth policy. This 

framework is available online at http:// 

www.findyouthinfo.gov/ 

provideinput.aspx. The framework 

illustrates how programs and 

practices—such as (1) Physical and 

mental health and wellness; (2) 

education; (3) juvenile justice 

intervention; (4) enrichment 

opportunities; (5) safety; (6) service 

learning; (7) employment; and (8) 

housing—pertain to youth up to age 24. 

The framework acknowledges that 

programs and policies are designed to 

meet the diverse needs of youth, 

including the general youth population, 

youth involved in systems, and special 

youth populations. The Working Group 

is focusing on youth across several 

developmental stages, including (1) 

early adolescence (ages under 14); (2) 

middle adolescence (ages 15–17); and 

(3) late adolescence/early adulthood 

(ages 18–24). The Working Group is 

focused on three overarching outcomes 

for youth through this framework: (1) 

basic needs: health, safety, and 

wellness; (2) school, family, and 

community engagement and 

connections; and (3) education, training, 

employment, transitions, and readiness 

for careers and adulthood. 

III. Guiding Questions for Commenters 

The Interagency Working Group on 

Youth Programs has identified a number 

of questions to focus on, and the 

Working Group is particularly interested 

in receiving comments addressing some 

or all of these questions. 

(a) What is the single most important thing 

youth need to be successful? 

(b) What programs really make a difference 

in the lives of youth? How do you know this? 

(c) What are the barriers to collaborating to 

improving youth outcomes and how can 

these barriers be removed? 

(d) What can Federal agencies do to assist? 

What are your ideas for Federal policy to 

improve the coordination, effectiveness, and 

efficiency of programs affecting youth? 

(e) How can youth be engaged in these 

efforts?
