To establish in the Executive Office of the President an Office of Young Americans, and for other purposes.
HR 5161 would create a new Office of Young Americans within the Executive Office of the President to coordinate federal efforts on issues affecting U.S. citizens and legal residents aged 18-40. The Office’s Director would identify key challenges like employment, education, mental health, housing, and climate change for this age group, advise the President, and coordinate federal agency actions to address them. The bill requires the Director to submit annual reports to Congress detailing priority issues and resource needs for young Americans, with the first report due within one year of enactment. This is a structural change focused on interagency coordination, not direct service provision.
