The White House Is Listening...

Kathy Stack

In the Forum for Youth Investment, Youth Policy News included information on giving feedback to the Obama Administration about comprehensive strategies for youth:

In order for community partnerships to have a positive collective impact on young people's lives, federal policies need to support comprehensive, place-based interagency efforts. The Forum for Youth Investment, in partnership with the National Collaboration for Youth, the American Institutes for Research, the Campaign for Youth and the Aspen Forum for Community Solutions, invite you to a webinar to learn about plans by the Obama administration to support such comprehensive efforts for youth, especially disconnected youth.

Martha Moorehouse, a recipient of the Ready by 21 Policymaker of the Year Award and chair of the Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs, and Sarah Oberlander, who leads the Working Group's production of FindYouthInfo.gov, will present Pathways for Youth, the working group's draft strategic plan for federal collaboration, and invites participants to provide feedback.

 Kathy Stack (White House Office of Management and Budget) and Johan Uvin (Department of Education) will present the latest work from the Interagency Forum on Disconnected Youth, which they co-chair. Last year, on a webinar hosted by the Forum for Youth Investment, Stack asked participants to help shape the federal government's work through a Request for Information (RFI) about disconnected youth. Hundreds of organizations and individuals responded. Stack and Uvin discuss what was learned through the RFI and the next steps they plan to advance this work. They invite your feedback.

This webinar will be held twice to give more participants an opportunity to ask questions. Please register for only one.
