PATHWAYS FOR
YOUNG ADULTS

NOT ALL PATHS ARE CREATED EQUAL


Between the ages of 16 and 24, youth and young adults are in a critical period of their lives. They’re defining who they are, exploring their skills and strengths and dreaming of goals for the future. But our current systems of education and work are not designed to meet their holistic needs, especially people of color and those from low income households. Unfortunately, that leaves a significant population of 16 to 24 year-olds who are disconnected and under-connected young people.
