Kudos @letsunitela for shining a light on LA County's 143,000 Opportunity Youth in convo with @isaacgbryan. We need to transform our systems to ensure young people are supported in strong education>>career pathways.

[Carrie Lemmon @cshapton]

Inspiring conversation today w/ CA AssemblyMajority Leader @isaacgbryan on policy solutions for CA's 570,000 Opportunity Youth - young people ages 16-24 who are not in school or working. Housing, justice system, foster youth, college affordability, apprenticeships & more

[Carrie Lemmon @cshapton]

... but I don't want us to limit the capacity of youth opportunities. I want to make sure that all pathways are open, and that whatever way our young people decide they'd like to live their life. And they should direct their career, their resources, their talent." @isaacgbryan

... and so while we continue to build up the career education that allows for young people to come straight out of high school into apprenticeship programs & learning the kinds of skills that will allow them to secure a livable wage, that's really, really important...

.@TonyThurmond “last year, I authored legislation that would have provided a direct allocation from the state legislature for internships… in order to do this, we're going to need all types of partnerships from the philanthropic sector, foundations, government, to the workforce”

Traveling to Sacramento today to participate in a summit launching a new statewide paid internship program for California’s young people. SSPI @TonyThurmond kicking off the day.

…We have hundreds of millions of dollars for apprenticeships, including 10s of millions for apprenticeships for Opportunity Youth. We have a lot to build off of.”

.@BenChidaCA: “We have $500 million for public college students to have paid internships. We have $500 million for High School career pathways programs. this last budget we secured $78 million in annual permanent funding for youth jobs score for young people to get employment…

[Carrie Lemmon @cshapton]

.@MayorOfLA calling in to statewide summit on youth internships - LA has received $53 million in state funds to provide paid internships for 4K young people in LA. Call to action for tens of millions more in investments. @letsunitela is ready to get to work!

📢 Protect the #GoldenStatePathways Program! Supporting college + career pathways in high-wage, high-growth fields for HS students will grow our economy. Cuts will harm CA’s underserved students. @RendonAD62 @SenToniAtkins @PhilTing @NancySkinnerCA https://t.co/sWBL6UFjfN

[Carrie Lemmon @cshapton]

CA has an historic opportunity to reimagine college and career planning for young people and invest in the economic mobility of our next generation of workers. Why blink and step back now?

Great to see we learned some lessons from the pandemic and are better prepared to support families during school closures. Please share these resources!

Clueless:Taming of the Shrew as Do Revenge:Strangers on a Train. Is this new Netflix show designed for millennials who loved Clueless in the 90s or do Gen Zs also love a centuries old plot? #whattowatch @DorevengeMovie
