Shared Youth Vision
Montana's vision for disadvantaged youth is an outcome-focused approach
designed to prepare youth to become economically self-sufficient and actively
engaged in their community.
Mission for the Shared Youth Vision
To properly address the needs of disadvantaged youth to ensure they grow up
to be productive adults, the Shared Youth Vision Team proposes the creation of
a "Disadvantaged Youth Initiative" to be coordinated through the executive
office of the Governor to:
- Promote educational attainment, leading to individual self-sufficiency and skills
attainment which will generate the productive workforce necessary for
Montana's economic future.
THE CORE TEAM JOURNEY

effective partnerships

GED by 5% in 2010

INITIATIVE NEED
Governor’s Labor Day Report 2007
“Another potential pool of workers exists in
individuals who have not completed their high
school education. A significant gap exists
between these individuals and all other
education classifications. By helping these
workers complete their education and increase
their skills a new source of labor could be made
available to businesses.”
