There’s a growing population of 119,000 disconnected and at-risk youth in Connecticut
This week, the 119k Commission, a group dedicated to tackling this crisis, released a new 120-page report and a plan to resolve the issue.
Initiatives from the Blue Ribbon Panel on Child Care to the 119K Commission reflect momentum in our state —one with the resources and scale to demonstrate nationally how to expand opportunities for all children and youth.
Over a year in the making, the 119K Commission released its comprehensive, 120-page report on Wednesday detailing four strategic pillars and 22 “aligned” actions on how to reconnect 60,000 of the roughly 119,000 disconnected youth in Connecticut.
Advocates say they want more state support to ensure a more comprehensive approach to helping at-risk youth instead of piecemeal approaches to the problem.
