Please take a moment to share your thoughts and ideas on what you think should be included in an overarching Strategic Plan for Federal Youth Policy. The Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs welcomes and encourages thoughtful feedback from stakeholders like you.

The Strategic Plan for Federal Youth Policy may engage programs and practices that address critical issues pertaining to youth, including those targeted for all youth, special youth populations, and youth involved in systems. Spanning across developmental stages and up to age 24—including early, middle, and late adolescence and young adulthood—a youth development approach will promote positive outcomes as well as reduce risk, and includes youth as active agents across developmental stages. Youth will be considered in the context of their families, neighborhoods, and communities; as well as in their cultural and linguistic contexts. Targeted outcomes of the Strategic Plan for Federal Youth Policy may include health, safety, and wellness; school, family, and community engagement and connections; and education, training, employment, transitions, and readiness for careers and adulthood.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Strategic Plan for Federal Youth Policy.
