 The Youth Transition Funders Group is a network of grantmakers whose mission is to help all youth make a successful transition to adulthood by age 25. Most young people make a safe passage from adolescence to adulthood with the support of their families, caring adults, communities, and schools. However, youth with few supports – such as teens aging out of the foster care system, youth who don't finish high school, or youth in the juvenile justice system – need help to find the right path to success. YTFG is dedicated to improving the lives of the 3 million young people, between the ages of 14 and 24, in need of extra support. |
  Yazeed Moore, Program Officer Charles Stewart Mott Foundation What is your role within the Mott Foundation, and what interested you in the work you do? My official title is Program Officer at the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, where I oversee several projects serving youth across an education and employment continuum out of our Pathways Out of Poverty program area. While there is quite a bit of variability to our education work in our Poverty program, we tend to focus on a three-pronged approach that includes community-driven reform, educational opportunities for vulnerable youth, and learning beyond the classroom. |
