On February 15, 2024, Workforce Connections Southern Nevada led the charge in organizing the sixth convening of the Disconnected Youth Coalition at our premises. The event saw the active participation of nearly 50 Community Partners. Noteworthy guest presenters included Yali Lincroft from the Walter S. Johnson Foundation, a generous contributor of the Coalition's first $100K in seed funding, and Dr. René Cantú from JAG Nevada.
The focus of the convening centered on the DY Coalition's Call to Action, emphasizing elements such as convening strategies, leveraging in-kind resources, strengthening partnerships, non-financial MOUs, data measurements, and measurable outcomes. With unwavering determination, the DY Coalition continues to systematically disrupt the pipeline affecting 42,000 Disconnected Youth (16-24) in Southern Nevada.
