Putting Youth Work on the Map

Building a strong, stable and supported youth workforce that is committed to the empowerment and well-being of youth is the goal of the recently formed Next Generation Youth Work Coalition, co-chaired by Pam Garza from the National Collaboration for Youth, Karen Pittman from the Forum for Youth Investment, and Deborah Craig from YouthNet of Greater Kansas City.

The Coalition will provide a forum for individuals and organizations at the national, state and local levels who influence or are influenced by workforce issues to work together to address the needs of front-line workers in the after-school and youth development fields.
