Measure for America, a project from the Social Science Research Council, notes that disconnected youth are “cut off from the people, institutions, and experiences that would otherwise help them develop the knowledge, skills, maturity, and sense of purpose required to live rewarding lives as adults. Opportunity youth may also be referred to as disconnected youth. Why does Opportunity Youth matter?Īges 16-24 represent a critical period in the transition to adulthood-higher rates of opportunity youth suggest these young adults are cut off from critical social supports and experiences that can help them build a path to the future. MyFutureNC is working with NC Commerce and the NC Works Commission to establish a 2030 goal for this indicator.
