Young Adult Talent Development: Meeting the Reinvention Challenge

At a Glance

Community-based organizations that serve young adults with barriers to education and employment are experiencing myriad new challenges and opportunities as they navigate the triple threat of a global pandemic, economic and employment volatility, and a resurgence of concern about racism. This issue brief shares insights gleaned from three virtual “reinvention” sessions with young adult leaders and leaders of community-based organizations in JFF’s Young Adult Talent Development Network. We find that using human-centered design processes can help CBOs draw on their existing resources, creativity, and partnerships to develop innovative solutions to tough challenges at an uncertain time.
