DOL is funding three National Guard
Youth ChalleNGe programs to expand the program's target population
to include court-involved youth and add a five-month residential
occupational training component called Job ChalleNGe. The National
Guard Youth ChalleNGe Job ChalleNGe Evaluation, sponsored by DOL's
Chief Evaluation Office, will use (1) a set of interviews with
staff and youth to learn how these program enhancements are
implemented, and (2) a series of two randomized controlled trials
to measure how effective they are for youth served, including for
court-involved youth.
