A new report based on a national survey and additional research, focuses on understanding how young people between ages 16 and 24 become disconnected from school and work and what challenges they face in trying to reconnect. The report notes that, according to Teachers College, Columbia University, more than 17 percent of American youth between 16 and 24 are classified as disconnected. It also reports that mentoring can play an important role in helping young people get back on track.
The report was produced by Civic Enterprises & America's Promise Alliance in association with Peter D. Hart Research Associates for the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and James Irvine Foundation and informed by a Practitioner Advisory Committee from the Forum for Youth Investment, Jobs for the Future, and YouthBuild USA
