In partnership with DeKalb County, we will be gathering on Wednesday December 6^th to hear from community leaders and content experts and to participate in an important discussion on the future of workforce development for our youth in DeKalb County.

Our Child Well-Being Index data indicates nearly 14,000 youth are not connected to school or work. Additionally, there has been a significant decline in post-secondary enrollment after graduation. These “Opportunity Youth” are spread across the region and constitute a growing gap between metro Atlanta’s workforce needs and the availability of future potential employees who have the training and skills needed for a career.

United Way of Greater Atlanta’s InForum Series is an open forum and discussion panel event that promotes dialogue and collaboration amongst community leaders regarding the Child Well-Being Index.
