References 22  \nHeldrich Center for Workforce Development & Newark Opportunity Youth Network  \nFunding Streams for Opportunity Youth  \nForeword  \nThe Newark Opportunity Youth Network (NOYN) was established in 2016 after nearly a decade of serving young people ages 16 to 24 as YouthBuild Newark, an affiliate of YouthBuild USA. YouthBuild is a nonprofit organization that provides educational, employment, and leadership training to young people (ages 16 to 24) across nearly 300 programs in the United States and around the world. NOYN’s mission is to help Newark thrive by reconnecting young people ages 16 to 24 who are not in school and not working by establishing exceptional, world-class public schools and educational programs that harness the intelligence and positive energy of low-income young people; proving that young people can achieve positive postsecondary outcomes despite overwhelming odds; and advocating for change in public policy that inhibits young people’s success (Fisher & Kim, 2018) .  \nIn 2020, NOYN established the Newark Youth Workforce Collaborative (the Collaborative) to address the largely disconnected youth workforce system across Newark, New Jersey. NOYN functions as the backbone of the Collaborative. This collective impact initiative focuses on strengthening Newark’s workforce ecosystem by bringing the leaders of youth workforce development together to create systems change that establishes a clear school-toworkforce pipeline for in-school and out-of-school youth and young adults (YYA) ages 16 to 24.  \nEstablishing a system that addresses the needs of YYA in under-resourced communities is more vital than ever given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The rates of youth disconnection from the labor force have increased exponentially since the pandemic began. And the federal relief programs that were implemented to reduce the stress of the pandemic did not serve the most vulnerable youth. Youth between the ages of 16 and 24 who were claimed as dependents did not receive stimulus payments, nor did youth from immigrant families. Additionally, the extended and enhanced Unemployment Insurance benefits were provided only to those individuals who were employed within the formal economy prior to the pandemic (Palmer & Small, 2021) .  \nIn light of these recent events that exacerbated what have been long-existing needs of youth in urban areas, a collaborative response was required to mitigate the challenges foisted onto young people, especially those who are not employed and not in education or training. To illuminate viable pathways going forward, this report summarizes the literature around available funding for youth workforce development and the programs serving this population in New Jersey. Interviews with practitioners providing services to youth and other experts in the field shed more light on the possibilities and pitfalls for more coordinated provision of youth services.  \nIntroduction  \nIn 2020, NOYN established the Collaborative to align programming and resources with other youth-serving organizations in Newark, New Jersey. Over the years, Newark has made great strides in training youth. However, the youth workforce system in Newark was fragmented and operated in silos, especially for in-school youth. To receive assistance, youth had to navigate several systems to receive services because there was no centralized method for providing you","cbCailZXXLm6R2Ha","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailZXXLm6R2Ha","pdf",235814,26,"English","# Foreword\n# Introduction\n# Research Questions Being Investigated\n# Methodology\n# Youth Workforce Development Funding\n# Insights from Stakeholder Interviews\n# Recommendations from Stakeholders\n# Discussion and Conclusion\n# Acknowledgments\n# Appendix A.
