Progress on State Policy Goals: The Policy Matrix Report

By the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative

The Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative has produced a policy matrix for each of the states where its demonstration sites are located.  The policy matrix provides documentation of currently existing state policies, information about practice and policy implementation, state statutes, and statewide data collection that help determine how many young people are benefitting from the policies and practices.  The matrix is based on the policy goals of the Initiative.
