Prepared by Community Service Council “The vast majority of American youth make a successful transition to adulthood. Yet a staggering 2.8 million young people – 10 percent of youth and young adults between the ages of 16 and 24 – are neither in school or working, placing them at high risk of subsequent economic and social hardship.” ~ From Report to The North Carolina GlaxoSmithKline Foundation, by MDC, Inc., August 2008 ~
