Powerful Pathways:
Framing Options and Opportunities for Vulnerable Youth

Child Trends estimates that in 1999 there were 4.9 million "vulnerable" youth ages 14-24 in the U.S. These include youth who are "aging out" of foster care, leaving juvenile justice or welfare systems, homeless, out of school or with an incarcerated parent. This publication by the Youth Transition Funders Group describes creative, effective efforts to connect these youth to work, education and a social support network by age 25.
