Opportunities for Success for Out-of-School Youth (OSY) is a Consortium Incentive
Grant funded by the Office of Migrant Education (OME) at the United States Department of Education (USDE) to build capacity in states with a growing secondary-aged migrant
out-of-school youth population.
OSY works with consortium states to:
Identify and recruit all out-of-school youth within the state, including recovery and here-to-work youth,
Design a well formulated process for accessing the different needs of the two groups,
Develop appropriate service delivery models for those youth who want to continue their education and for those who are here-to-work,
Share information and resources,
Identify and develop curriculum and instructional materials, and
Provide professional development to support OSY activities.
