Led by the Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Department of Education, the Interagency Work Group on Disconnected Youth was established by the Obama Administration to advance national policy solutions for youth ages 16 to 24 who are disconnected from education, the workforce, and opportunity.   

As a part of this work, the Administration is advancing Performance Partnership Pilots designed to incentivize cross-systems approaches to serving the nation's 6.7 million disconnected youth. 

The Department of Education issued a Request for Information this summer to solicit input into development of the Performance Partnership Pilots as well as federal cross-agency policy development and funding decisions.
