The Forum For Youth Investment

The Forum for Youth Investment helps leaders get young people ready for life. We believe that all young people can be ready by 21 – for college, work and life. We believe that all communities can give young people the supports they need – from cradle to career. We believe that leaders can ignite change to make that happen – through the power of collective impact. Working Together to Fulfill the Dream The Forum works with state and local leaders and leadership groups to fundamentally change the way they do business for young people. We create this change together, through field-tested strategies that... - Strengthen state and local partnerships that focus on young people. - Expand and improve learning opportunities for all youth. - Align and advance policies and resources to make them more effective. We carry out these strategies through products, services and thought leadership, all built on . . . - The best research on youth development, youth services and community change. - Our experience in diverse communities around the country. - A whole child/whole community approach. - A commitment to collective impact and continuous improvement.
