Washington DC: School-to-Work Opportunities. Authors: Hamilton, Mary Agnes; Hamilton, Stephen F.

Authors: Hamilton, Stephen F.; Hamilton, Mary Agnes Abstract: The goal of creating systems that foster young people's transition to adulthood is central to the School-to-Work Opportunities Act, but difficult to translate into action. As an aid to practitioners and policy makers facing this challenge, we sought school, school districts, regional consortia, states, and corporations that were making good progress toward creating systems and described what they are doing.

We are especially concerned with low-income and minority youth. Supports and opportunities of interest include work, service, schools, and mentoring relationships with adults in those and other community contexts. We are also engaged in efforts to strengthen the links between research and the practice of youth development. 2002-01-01T00:00:00Z
