US: Navigating the Path to a Successful Career: The Vitality of Vital Records
Youth Today – August 25, 2017
Navigating the Path to a Successful Career: The Vitality of Vital Records. There is, however, an undocumented population of U.S. citizens among us: system-involved youth. What we mean by this is large numbers of youth leave the child welfare and juvenile justice systems without their vital documents or they are not able to maintain them due to housing instability. Not having these records makes smoothly transitioning to adulthood difficult, if not impossible.
