AI Summary
This bill aims to establish a state-wide Office of Youth Development within the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. The office will organize and implement pilot programs in eight major cities in Massachusetts to address the negative social, economic, and health issues facing urban youth, such as involvement in the criminal justice system, violence, substance abuse, and lack of marketable skills. The programs will be designed based on youth development research and will focus on developing social decorum, positive behaviors, job and career opportunities, and community engagement. The programs will be implemented through contracts with federally qualified Community Health Centers, and will include various components such as research, community coordination, youth worker certification, and court diversion.
