Tampa Bay has 96,000+ Economically Disadvantage Youth
Research has shown that many disparities can be explained in large measure by persistent gaps in access to financial capital and what’s commonly referred to as human capital (education and experience). According the the Coalition of At-Risk Youth:
-
Only 1 in 10 youth from low-income families go on to graduate from a four-year college
-
Nearly a third of youth from low-income families (29 percent) fail to earn high school diplomas (That would be roughly 30,000 kids in Tampa Bay on the next 10 years)
