Description of Organization |
The Campaign for Youth was established in 2002 by the leadership of national youth serving organizations who came together to build a united voice for disadvantaged youth in this nation.
The Campaign for Youth is an alliance of organizations and young leaders who are concerned about the persistence, yet seeming invisibility, of the challenges confronting more than 5 million young people who are disconnected from education, employment and opportunity.
We are united in our belief that youth should have the opportunity for a safe and healthy passage to adulthood, equipped with the skills they need to work, raise a family and participate as a responsible member of their community.
We are committed to elevating awareness of the challenges facing young people; advancing policy and program solutions that work to reconnect and expand opportunities for them, and creating a constituency for making solutions happen.
The mission of the Campaign for Youth is to focus attention on the needs of young people who are out of work, out of school and out of the mainstream. Campaign for Youth advocates for the expansion of those opportunities and supports that prepare youth for their future roles as workers, parents, civic leaders and engaged members of caring communities.
