Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 111-8). The House Appropriations Committee Print,

[[Page 62400]]

Division F--Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and 
Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations directed that the 
Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs 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

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.
