The Youth Opportunity Guarantee: A Framework for Success

After years of extensive research and consultation with well over 100 experts and stakeholders, GCPI has created a framework that integrates secondary, postsecondary, and employment systems to make long-term labor market success a reality for all youth in the United States.

The Youth Opportunity Guarantee (“the guarantee”) is a bold vision that ensures all young people have the opportunity for long-term career success. This framework aims to guarantee to every young person ages 16 to 24 in the United States:

■ High school or equivalent that prepares them for college and career;

■ A range of postsecondary options that help lead to career success; and

■ Quality career training, national service, and employment opportunities.
