Youth Workforce Advisory Board
The MyCom Youth Workforce Advisory Board (YWAB) was created to build youth engagement and bring a youth voice to the issues facing our young adults across Greater Cleveland.
The vision of the YWAB is all young adults successfully employed.
The mission of the YWAB is to research and understand why Opportunity Youth are disconnected, design strategies to engage with them, and connect them to positive opportunities that will enrich their lives.
The target audience are "opportunity 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.

MyCom will enact our mission with race and equality at the forefront of our work as we always have. We will use our thought-leadership, funding, advocacy, and network to redesign service delivery. Together we will rethink infrastructure and create solutions that eliminate access to healthcare, cyclical poverty, access to quality education, housing stability, and other barriers that have impacted black lives.
