Youth Development
Scaling alternative pathways to economic mobility for young people in rural communities
All young people deserve to live purposeful lives that allow them to realize their goals through workforce opportunities that support their mobility and well-being. Young people living in high-poverty communities often face high barriers to finding career pathways. The connection between education, employment and advancement can be especially weak for young people. Strategies are under development, and our work will focus on rural areas of Georgia and Montana.
