Do You Live In Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, or Washington?

For all of you that live in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, or Washington, you can start the conversation in your town on opportunity policies for youth (See Eduployment for more information) by building on OpportunityNation gatherings in your state. Heads up – if you live in Atlanta it’s taking place tomorrow!

These gatherings are designed to brief community and state leaders from all sectors on Opportunity Nation, a national campaign to increase economic opportunity with over 500 partners across the country. Opportunity Nation will provide background on our Opportunity Index, a measure of opportunity in communities across 16 dimensions, a Youth and Business Toolkit for employers who want to hire, mentor, and provide internships for young adults, and our national policy and advocacy work. Make sure your efforts to re-connect young adults through education and career pathways are represented. Most importantly, let's make these gatherings a place where young adults can describe the impact of the youth unemployment crisis on their lives and the lives of their families.
