Disadvantaged youth refers to young individuals who face significant barriers to success due to factors such as poverty, lack of access to quality education, and limited resources. These challenges can hinder their personal development and opportunities for future employment, making it difficult for them to achieve their full potential. Many disadvantaged youth may also experience social issues, including family instability, community violence, and inadequate healthcare. Programs aimed at supporting these individuals often focus on providing mentorship, educational resources, and access to extracurricular activities, helping them build skills and resilience to overcome their circumstances.
