Abstract	This report explores two questions: (1) What can be done to recover and reconnect young people to opportunities for building useful lives in work, family, and citizenship? and (2) Who is doing what, and where, to reengage out-of-school youth while working to strengthen the communities in which they live? Focusing on the positive, the American Youth Policy Forum's research, interviews, and site visits demonstrate that there are thousands of committed educators, social entrepreneurs, and community leaders across the country who are doing whatever it takes to reconnect out-of-school youth to the social and economic mainstream. Their efforts generally occur without public fanfare or adequate recognition. This document is divided into the following parts: (1) Community Case Studies; and (2) Major National Programs. A list of additional resources and a glossary are also included. [This report was also made possible by the support of the General Electric Fund.] (ERIC).
