Since 2014, Equal Measure has partnered with the Aspen Institute Forum for Community Solutions as its learning and evaluation partner for the Opportunity Youth Forum, a national systems change effort to connect 16- to 24-year-olds not in school or work to education and careers. Our collection of publications features insights from a decade-long collaboration with the Forum, providing a better understanding of how local collaboratives serve opportunity youth.
