Abstract: In this brief: This brief includes selected findings from a MY-CIL survey that collected information on CIL services for out-of-school youth (OSY) with disabilities from minority backgrounds. The survey was completed by 218 federally funded CILs in 2020 and provided information on the characteristics of OSY that they served, the breadth of services they provided, services they deemed most effective, and challenges CILs faced in increasing and improving services for this population. In this brief, we share findings on the prevalence of OSY among CIL consumers, and the racial, ethnic, and gender composition of their OSY consumers. Overall, we found that all CILs are serving OSY, though to varying degrees. CILs reported that minority youth comprised a large share of OSY consumers for some CILs and much smaller for others. In subsequent briefs, we will share findings from the survey on specific services that CILs reported providing to OSY and on the services CILs deemed most effective. The next briefs will also highlight challenges CILs face in increasing and improving services for this population.
