Disconnected Youth: Who are they? Where are they going?

nice documentary =]

This is so paramount young people need to prepare themselves for the future. The workforce is changing and we need to prepare our children.

This is a good video which highlights a critical problem. Teh only way to break the cycle of poverty is to educate the youthin the inner cities.

A well told piece with good information.

This is all true. However, more than education N.Y.'s youth and every Ny er of working age needs available jobs. They can say there will be a workforce shortage I'll believe it when I see it. What I see is not enough jobs for everyone even those who r well educated. This week's NY Times want ads consisted of 3 pages that's nothing. I noticed on the list of fastest growing jobs in NYC one of the "tech" jobs on it was Pharmacy Technician basically a pharmacist's helper. That's horrible the pay sucks u can't even support one prsn let alone a family on that. So although there maybe jobs available these r jobs that pay nothing. What good is a job if u need 3 of them just to pay ur rent? I have my Master's and am unemployed how much more education do I need?

Timely and excellent topic. I'll try to make time to see more of the presentation. The problem is huge for the future of the country.

This is an under-statement, all across the US, by the thousands the youth are dropping out of school, there is no jobs. The youth are wondering the streets with no destination in mind. The youth are finding easier access to alcohol, drugs and guns. Crime is soaring.

Awareness campaigns need to be stepped up.Funding for at risk youth programming needs to fall into place. On the job training needs to be re-introduced in marginalized communities.

This pod is clearly telling us that that our youth are in trouble.The same crisis is duplicated in many other cities throughout the US.

Encouraging story on the hope and vision that we need to grasp to further empower adolescents and children toward the goals and dreams they have. Thanks for your educational piece that shares the story.
Thank you.

Children and youth worldwide represent the future - the better we educate and treat them, the better the future. The more we abandon and ignore them, the worse the future.

Excellent video. Equally excellent site.
Quality work, Sharifa.
I added your site to my "faves".

This article is critical! Thank you for helping me to become aware of this problem.
