(Community Matters) Attended the American Youthworks luncheon today as a guest of Janet Harman and the KDK-Harman Foundation. Good to see social entrepreneur Richard Halpin who launched this organization over 30 years ago. They do great work as a charter school. From their materials: American YouthWorks (AYW) is an efficient, cost-effective vehicle for reclaiming the lives of our at-risk youth. 85.6 cents of every dollar AYW raises is spent on direct services at an average annual participant direct cost of only $8,076. Every private sector dollar AYW raises is leveraged 5-to-1 with AmeriCorps, TEA, and other government money.
