Office of Youth Development

Welcome to the Office of Youth Development

The Office of Youth Development provides funding for a wide array of employment and training services for economically disadvantaged and at-risk youth. Other programs include more recent initiatives to expand employment and training opportunities for youth with disabilities and expand training opportunities for young adults with barriers to employment.

In addition to general information about programs offered through the Office of Youth Development, a significant amount of resource material, policy information and technical documents are available for practitioners and others interested in learning more about these programs.
