Young people need support from an array of adults and peers to meet key developmental milestones and thrive as adults. This report is the second in a series focused on career pathways programs that serve risk-immersed young people. It builds on the programmatic insights in the first report asking youth participants enrolled in the four career pathways programs how the relationships that surround them influence their development. Using young people's own words, "Turning Points" illuminates the ways that significant people in program participants' lives helped them construct webs of support, or systems of relationships that help young people develop the capacity to navigate and negotiate their path to success. [To view the first report of the series, "Relationships Come First: How Four Career Development and Workforce Readiness Programs Prepare Young People for Work and Life," see ED572714.]
