To establish in the Executive Office of the President an Office of Young Americans, and for other purposes.

The bill would create a new Office of Young Americans within the Executive Office of the President (EOP). This Office would be led by a Director (and potentially one Associate Director) and would be tasked with identifying and addressing issues that primarily affect young Americans—covering areas such as employment, education, mental health, housing, and climate change. The Director would advise the President on youth engagement in the federal government, coordinate cross-agency efforts, and help develop a whole-of-government response to youth-related issues. The bill also requires the Director to prepare regular “Preparedness Outlook Reports” to outline upcoming youth-focused priorities and resource needs, and to pursue opportunities to leverage technology and public-private partnerships to prepare the nation’s youth workforce. The Office would have limited staffing (up to two full-time employees) and could use some federal resources on a reimbursable basis, with authority to hold hearings to gather views. The Director would also sit as a member of the Domestic Policy Council. The bill defines a “young American” as a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident aged 18 to 40. It provides administrative provisions for staffing, compensation, and consultants, and sets out a framework for reporting to Congress and making reports publicly available.
