Final Report of the White House Task Force for Disadvantaged Youth

In December 2002, President George W. Bush created the White House Task Force for Disadvantaged Youth. (The Executive Memorandum may be found online at http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/12/20021223.html.) The Task Force was charged with developing, under existing authorities and programs, a comprehensive Federal response to the problems facing America's youth.

In April 2003, the Task Force presented the President with an initial overall assessment of the Federal response to failure among disadvantaged youth. In October 2003, the Task Force released its Final Report, presenting a national youth policy framework designed to support all young people in growing up to be healthy and safe and ready to participate in work, college, military service, marriage, family, parenting, and civic engagement and service. To promote these positive outcomes for disadvantaged youth, the Task Force recommends improving Federal programs through better management, better accountability, better connections, and giving priority to the neediest youth.
