Looking forward to a second, third, and fourth listen to really dig deep into the BMWP framework and how to continue applying it to our work at PATCH.🔊 New on the Podcast: For more than a decade, The Opportunity Youth Forum at the Aspen Forum for Community Solutions (AFCS) has been working with a growing network of urban, rural, and tribal communities across the U.S. to build and scale reconnection pathways that achieve better outcomes in education, employment and overall well-being for opportunity youth. Opportunity Youth are young adults, age 16-24, who are not engaged in work or education.![]()

Based on their work with a network of 40 communities, along with thought leaders and funders across the field, OYF is advancing four key principles that, when brought together, help empower youth to lead thriving and healthy lives. These principles are Belonging, Meaning, Wellbeing, and Purpose (BMWP).![]()

OYF has brought together what they are learning from their communities on these core concepts, along with academic research and thought leadership. Out of this collaboration, they are developing a BMWP framework as well as a series of examples that demonstrate that when young adults are supported in an environment where they feel they can have a thriving future, the outcomes for both them and their greater community are more successful.![]()
