Adolescence is a time of both great opportunity and risk, as young people experience physical change, intellectual growth, self-discovery, and growing independence. Unfortunately, some young people have difficulty making the transition from adolescence to productive adulthood. America's Disconnected Youth identifies these young people as disconnected and examines mentoring and school-to-work programs as important strategies for assisting youth. The chapters include in-depth descriptions of the factors that have contributed to the alienation of these young people from fulfilling adult lives.This text emphasizes the importance of educational and youth programmes - and their potential. It states that even as late as adolescence, at-risk youth - whose futures seem so bleak - are still in school and still within the reach of preventive intervention.
