 Coordinating State Policy for Better Youth Services
State officials and advocates looking for ways to create or strengthen youth coordinating bodies have a new resource.
The Ready by 21 State Policy Survey: Child and Youth Policy Coordinating Bodies in the U.S is the nation's only survey of state child and youth policy coordinating bodies (e.g., children's cabinets, early childhood councils and P-20/P-16 education councils). The survey assesses coordinating bodies in the areas of partnerships, goals, data, accomplishments and challenges. This biennial survey was conducted in 2011 and again in 2013, in hopes that the decisions, lessons and experiences it documents can serve as tools for state leaders and coordinating bodies.
