Tens of thousands of CT youth are in danger of not becoming self-sufficient.
A new comprehensive study, titled “Connecticut’s Unspoken Crisis,” shows what leaders call an alarming number of “at-risk” and “disconnected” young people in the state.
In 2022, one in five of Connecticut’s young people were either at-risk or disconnected. These are 119,000 young people who have either dropped out of school or are in danger of dropping out of school, and who are, for those aged 18 to 26, unemployed and in many cases unemployable.
More than 130 Connecticut teachers, including six from Meriden, will spend the summer abroad to be immersed in history, culture and knowledge to bring back to their students.
