Life for these young people is not easy. Opportunity youth frequently come from underresourced communities and face higher rates of poverty. Many have experienced homelessness, have  \ndisabilities, or have been involved with the child welfare or juvenile justice  \nsystems. Youth of color are overrepresented in this population, as are rural  \nyouth.2  \nThese young people usually exist in the intersection of multiple systems (like child welfare, juvenile justice, education, and training and employment) that do not interact with each other.3 Successfully navigating these siloed systems to get support requires time, energy, savvy, and sometimes plain luck. It is too easy for youth to fall through the cracks between systems.
