Summary of Responses to the NYEC Survey on Improving Outcomes for Disconnected Youth - Feb. 2009
	In February 2008, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) conducted a review of 39 local workforce youth programs to examine the federal role in improving outcomes for disconnected youth and to identify any challenges involved in implementing and operating these programs. In response to GAO's recommendation, NYEC reached out to its membership to collect its input and to provide additional information from the field to USDOL. Building upon a set of US DOL focus group questions, NYEC surveyed and collected feedback from direct services providers, workforce investment boards and state agencies in our membership through online surveys and conference calls. - February 24, 2009
