"there's no equivalent support available to young adults who are not attending college."
If this is true (I am in no position to argue this conclusion), it at least gives the Church a starting point for evangelisation ... no-one seems to take up this ball, however! I wonder how many young people would take advantage of free and inspirational 'further education' (I do not include indoctrination in that phrase), and how the Church could realistically provide it? One of the issues I have observed in UK (not in Africa or the far East) is that very often young people actually lack the confidence and self-esteem to break beyond their local cultural boundaries. (Where they do, they appear to flourish.) Too often they do not think they are 'good enough' - they appear to have given up before they have started. Furthermore, everyone else seems to know what is best for them which is often negative. This is a cultural issue but the church could enter the arena positively. Is this a US issue?
