Youth 2000 is a nationwide "call to action" between now and the year 2000 to enlist all sectors of society in helping vulnerable youth achieve social and economic self-sufficiency and to fulfill their potential as viable, contributing members of American society. Specific goals of the campaign are employment and economic self-sufficiency, improved literacy and educational attainment, reduction in the incidence of teenage pregnancy, lifestyles free from substance abuse, and reduction in violent and accidental injuries and deaths. Youth 2000 will not require new federal legislation but will instead be carried out using existing legislative authorities and resources. The federal role will be that of catalyst and partner. Youth 2000 is not a single, officially approved program model; instead, it encompasses a wide variety of approaches that build on the needs and strengths of individuals, communities and families, tribal goals, and youth concerns. Youth 2000 will involve intensive public information campaigns, national conferences and other meetings to focus tribal leadership on youth issues, and the establishment and expansion of partnerships among federal agencies, foundations, and national Indian youth organizations to promote public and private sector support for American Indian youth.
