The OYF Common Measures: Using Data to Understand Youth Disconnection in OYF Communities
Tuesday, May 20, 2:30–4:00 p.m. PT
Equal Measure develops annual reports on the “Common Measures”—data on youth disconnection from school and work, disparities in youth disconnection, and characteristics of opportunity youth—for each community in the OYF network. These data, drawn from the publicly available American Community Survey, provide valuable information for OYF communities to guide their opportunity youth strategies. The data also paint a picture of youth disconnection within the OYF network as a whole. In this session, the Equal Measure team will share the latest data from the 2023 network Common Measures, as well as trends since 2017. We will also spotlight Opportunity Youth Action Hawai’i, who will share how they’ve used the Common Measures to guide their work.
Presenters: Jennifer Thompson, Senior Director; Samantha Rivera Joseph, Director; Elyse Villanueva, Consultant; Naomi Rose Caywood, Opportunity Youth Action Hawai’i, Equal Measure
