“Partnering with Community Forums Network provided Washington Policy Center with an invaluable opportunity to work with various stakeholders to explore the important issue of youth unemployment. WPC has long expressed concern with our state’s high youth unemployment rate—the information mined from the surveys provides valuable insight into an issue that impacts the businesses and workers in our state and will play an important role our Center for Small Business’ ongoing research efforts on this topic.”
Erin Shannon, Small Business Director, Washington Policy Center
“Thank you to Community Forms Network for the opportunity to partner with them in this important civic engagement process. Many of our young adult employees and clients were able to participate, which we hope was valuable to them, as well as the process overall. We are excited to see the results of the surveys and forums and look forward to partnering with CFN in the future.”
