Third grade literacy and people being disconnected or isolated have been present for a long time, which is why crime and poverty have been challenges in Memphis for decades. — PolitiTweet.org

The work of improving literacy and connecting the disconnected to job training opportunities and available jobs will not be easy. — PolitiTweet.org

We plan to extend the program to opportunity youth. And, my goal is that in two years’ time, we will have hundreds of people participating in the program, furthering their education, and giving hope and a second chance to so many in our community who need it. — PolitiTweet.org

Our administration and the City Council created two re-entry programs—one for men (Manhood University) and one for women (Women Offering Women Support). Individuals who want to turn their lives around go through a six-week course, and we work to place them in a job. — PolitiTweet.org

By increasing the literacy rate among current 3rd graders—more will stay in school—more will graduate—more will get a job. By doing this, we will have fewer opportunity youth in the future, and it will lower the numbers of those living a life of poverty. — PolitiTweet.org

Opportunity youth are young people between 16 – 24 years old, out of school, and chronically unemployed. These young people are largely not being reached by our traditional means, and we must do more if we’re going to help them change course. — PolitiTweet.org
