Congressman Cohen Supports Funding For Federal Youth Coordination Act
“Currently, there are a multitude of federal programs designed to meet varying needs of youth-after school programs, job training, mental health and other youth initiatives. Unfortunately, they are disharmoniously administered. The Federal Youth Coordination Act establishes a Federal Youth Development Council that will enable the federal government to implement succinct multifaceted approaches to reaching youth by leveraging and coordinating existing resources within different federal agencies.”
The Federal Youth Coordination Act was originally introduced in the 108th Congress to implement recommendations from the 2003 White House Task Force for Disadvantaged Youth to improve coordination across related departments and agencies. The new law establishes the Federal Youth Development Council to help ensure effective, coordinated, and meaningful services for the nation’s youth.
