California's Disconnected Latino Youth

REGISTRATION CLOSED

Please join the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) for a panel event, “Building a Brighter Future: California’s Disconnected Latino Youth.” The event will feature leading experts discussing the youth policy environment and the outlook for California’s future.

It is expected that by 2018, only 28% of jobs will be available to people with just a high school diploma. NCLR’s recent report, Plugged In: Positive Development Strategies for Disconnected Latino Youth, explored what we have learned about how to serve disconnected Latino youth. Join us as we continue the conversation about the implications of those findings for California’s 4.8 million Latino youth.
