Youth Connect 216
MyCom's Youth Connect 216 was created to build youth engagement and bring a youth voice to the issues facing our young adults across Greater Cleveland.
The vision of Youth Connect 216 is all young adults successfully employed.
The mission of Youth Connect 216 is to research and understand why high potential youth are disconnected, design strategies to engage with them, and connect them to positive opportunities that will enrich their lives.
The target audience are "high potential youth" who are defined as young adults between the ages of 16 and 24 years of age, across Greater Cleveland who are not working, in school, or connected to a training program.
