## Summary

**Reconnect opportunity youth** to education and career pathways. This resolution would highlight the scale of youth disconnection and urge federal departments to invest in targeted education, workforce, and mental health supports. - Young people who stay connected earn about $31,000 more per year and show stronger long-term outcomes in employment, homeownership, and health compared with disconnected peers. - Employers report nearly 7.3 million job openings while youth labor force participation is about 9.7 percentage points lower than its 2000 peak, showing a gap between demand and available young workers. - Only around 140,000 of the roughly 4.3 million opportunity youth are served each year by primary federally funded workforce programs, so the resolution calls on federal agencies to prioritize reconnection in grants and program design. *The resolution projects a federal revenue gain of about $11,900 per connected youth per year, totaling roughly $55 billion.*
