Washington, D.C. faces high unemployment rates among urban youth, particularly in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Recent data indicates that youth unemployment in the District is approximately 16%, which is notably higher than the national average. The skills gap exacerbates these challenges, resulting in limited access to job opportunities in the rapidly expanding green economy, which focuses on sustainability and environmental stewardship.
Urban youth in D.C. often face barriers to employment, including a lack of access to training programs integrated with the green job sector.
