Abstract
It is clear that the problem of the dropout is multifaceted;
economic, social, educational, and political.
The problem of unemployment itself is an enormous one.
But youth unemployment is today's particular enigma. For
these young people are the work force of the future- a future
in a complex society, which appears very foreboding for
anyone without an education or special training.
There is, however, a new urgency awakening in communities
throughout the nation to focus on the hitherto
forgotten dropout. Society is beginning to realize that
hope and help need to be given to the displaced, disoriented
young dropouts to return them to the mainstream of our
social and economic life.
Our own community of Kalamazoo has been one of the
pioneers in the search for an effective program to answer
this crisis. The program which has been developed to deal
with this problem is Youth Opportunities Unlimited. I have
endeavored to present in this paper an accurate account of
the workings of this organization.
