The Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs seeks to promote the achievement of positive results for at-risk youth through promoting collaboration, disseminating information, producing a website (www.FindYouthInfo.gov), and developing an overarching strategic plan for federal youth policy.
The strategic planning process will provide an opportunity for stakeholders at the federal, state, and local levels to provide input into the overall federal strategic plan for youth policy.
Examples of audiences:
- Youth
- Non-profit and community-based organizations, including youth-focused organizations and partnerships
- Faith-based organizations
- State children’s cabinets and other state stakeholders
- Funders
- Researchers
- Comprehensive city initiatives
- Colleges and universities
- Federal and national level stakeholders
- Foundations
The Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs will be soliciting input—including recommendations for improving coordination, effectiveness, and efficiency of youth programs and policies—from these audiences using multiple mechanisms, including the following examples:
- www.FindYouthInfo.gov
- Conferences and meetings in Washington D.C. and around the country
- Individual consultation sessions
- Discussion sessions
