The Opportunity Youth Network, co-managed by the Forum for Youth Investment and the Aspen Forum for Community Solutions, convenes the leaders of the major existing networks focused on Opportunity Youth once a quarter to (1) assess the Opportunity Youth movement as a whole, identifying key areas that need strengthening, and (2) advance collaborative cross-network solutions to strengthen them.
