AI Summary

This bill establishes an Office of Youth Development within the Executive Office of Health and Human Services to address the issues facing urban youth, such as involvement in the criminal justice system, high rates of violence and substance abuse, and lack of marketable skills. The office will coordinate and implement pilot programs in several cities across the state to provide a comprehensive youth development services delivery system. The programs will be designed based on youth development research and focus on developing social skills, preventing violent and gang-related behaviors, and providing job training and career opportunities. The programs will be implemented through contracts with federally qualified Community Health Centers, and the staff will reflect the participant population. The bill also creates a dedicated fund to sustain the initiative for the first five years.
