In April 2003,
the White House Task Force for Disadvantaged Youth presented the President with an initial overall
assessment of the Federal response to failure among disadvantaged
youth. In October 2003, the Task Force released its Final Report,
presenting a national youth policy framework designed to support
all young people in growing up to be healthy and safe and ready
to participate in work, college, military service, marriage, family,
parenting, and civic engagement and service. To promote these
positive outcomes for disadvantaged youth, the Task Force recommends
improving Federal programs through better management, better accountability,
better connections, and giving priority to the neediest youth.

the White House Task Force for Disadvantaged Youth in December 2002. (The Executive
Memorandum may be found online at http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/12/20021223.html.)
