Opportunity summit May 2, 2019 invest in opportunity
nearly 1 in 10 san diegans between the ages of 16 and 24 are disconnected from school and work. 41,000. That s just shy of Petco Park s full capacity. It s also the estimated number of young people in San Diego County who are NOT in school or working also known as opportunity youth. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Our nation has an opportunity to invest in them. And it starts with us. Working together across sectors and systems, we can create a new reality for for all young people in San Diego and a new era of economic prosperity in the region. JOIN THE OPPORTUNITYSD MOVEMENT.
Last year, 750 changemakers met to hear from an expert lineup of speakers to dig deep into issues that affect opportunity youth. Join us for our 2019 Opportunity Summit as we double down on efforts to cut the rate and halve the gap by 2020 our region s call to action. BY 2020... cut the rate to 7.3% Reduce the percentage of 16-24-year-olds not in school and not working to 7.3% or lower. halve the gap to 4.4% No neighborhood should be more than 4.4% above the county-wide disconnection rate, halving the gap between the area with the highest rate (18.6%) and the county average of 9.7%. This can be achieved by focusing efforts and resources on under-served communities. WE NEED PARTNERS TO SUPPORT THE EVENT. ARE YOU IN?
