Abstract
As research and scholarship across the country suggests, America's youth are in crisis. Changing family structures, ineffective educational practices and an increasingly self-destructive youth culture are resulting in lower educational outcomes. This article describes the state of Maine's response to this national problem through the development of two programs, the Maine Aspirations Compact and University of Maine Aspirations Project, developed by civic, educational and business leaders to raise the expectations of Maine youth.
