Participants will learn how this work is being done on the local level including recent efforts to capture a profile of Denver’s Opportunity Youth and the pathways available to them. And, you will have an opportunity to inform the Collaborative as we develop a plan for strengthening pathways for Opportunity Youth to re-engage in school and work.

“Opportunity Youth” refers to the population of young adults between the ages of 16-24 who are disconnected from school and work. In 2012, the number of Opportunity Youth in Denver was estimated to be approximately 13.4% of all 16-24 year olds.
Looking forward to attending this event. Thanks for posting.
