According to the Forum for Youth Investment, from the late 1960s through the early 1980s, the National Commission on Resources for Youth embarked on a national effort in the United States to expand opportunities for young people to assume active, responsible roles in their communities. Dozens of community meetings, close study of several hundred community organizations and schools, and dialogues among practitioners and other experts helped propel youth participation to national prominence.

The National Commission on Resources for Youth was preceded in federal legislation by the National Youth Administration, a 1930s federally coordinated youth program. The Commission succeeded in seeding national movements in youth voice, youth involvement, and community youth development. It's recent political successor is the Tom Osborne Federal Youth Coordination Act, passed in 2006 to direct federal interaction among youth-serving agencies and grant programs.
