About this grant
This grant increase will enable the Center for Law and Social Policy to extend its work on promoting federal and state policies that increase the proportion of young people who have a high school diploma at the age of 25 and can access post-secondary education and career options. Through this project, the grantee has developed a youth policy agenda toward raising awareness of the dimensions of the disconnected youth problem and advancing policy and practice focused on comprehensive solutions. With this grant increase, the grantee will build on its current efforts to assure that the issues of disconnected youth are prominent in ongoing national and federal policy deliberations.
