AYPF provides policymakers and their senior aides with information and experiences useful in the development of an effective youth education, training and transition-to-employment system for the United States (including formal and informal learning opportunities, internships, national community service, and other experience-based learning methodologies). AYPF does this by bringing leading policymakers, researchers and youth-serving practitioners into dialogue with a bipartisan group of senior Congressional aides, Executive Branch leaders, state offices located in Washington, DC and their counterparts in national associations focused on the education of youth and career development. AYFP provides a variety of informal learning events including policy discussions, reader-friendly reports, and opportunities for exchanges of perspectives with leaders and program implementers outside Washington through forums on Capitol Hill and site visits to programs in the field.
