The Forum For Youth Investment

Cross system consulting: cross-systems consulting engages state systems leaders to shape and strengthen youth development ecosystems to improve outcomes for children and youth. We do this by serving as a strategic thought partner honing systems leaders' ability to use data and gain insights across all outcomes, all systems, all leaders, and then create a strategy and roadmap for integrating solutions to maximize impact. Our leaders are boundary spanning, innovative systems thinkers who use their full sphere of influence to improve outcomes for children & youth. They include: public systems, multi-service agencies and youth-serving organizations at the state level; state governmental coordinating bodies; cross-sector partnerships, coalitions, and networks that support them.

Policy: the forum provides opportunity for convening and connection among all stakeholders including youth, families, communities, system leaders, practitioners, funders and policymakers.
