 the unique perspectives and insights of
 young people1 especially young people  
who have previously participated in a   
public policy-related program1 outreach 
initiative1 internship1 or fellowship   
opportunity1 are essential to ensure    
that investments made by the ,federal   

,government in youth services are       
effective and efficient2 ,whereas       
existing outreach and engagement        
mechanisms of the ,federal ,government  
are designed in ways that inhibit the   
participation1 and lead to the          
underrepresentation1 of young people in 
the policymaking process2 and ,whereas  
numerous ,members of ,congress1         
,governors1 ,state legislatures1 mayors1
 and city councils have created youth   
councils that have proven to be an      
effective means of receiving input from 
young people1 which leads to more       
effective and efficient policies3 ,now1
