Abstract	This document reviews programs and policy initiatives in the following Northwestern States aimed at reducing the number of youth who are at risk of dropping out of school or remaining unemployed: (1) Alaska; (2) Hawaii; (3) Idaho; (4) Montana; (5) Oregon; and (6) Washington. The following regional trends are identified: (1) establishing collaboration between schools, businesses, and the community; (2) establishing business/education partnerships; (3) empowering local citizens; (4) listening to students' complaints, needs, and desires; (5) helping at-risk youth to acquire the skills they need for college; and (6) developing multifaceted strategies to counter dropping out and joblessness. Recommendations for policymakers are offered. Related Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory (NWREL) activities are discussed. A short bibliography of related NWREL publications is included. (BJV)
