To originally create this page, we consulted with a group of young people who served on the 2021 Microsoft Council for Digital Good. In a virtual workshop, we spoke with them about why privacy matters and how they can protect their privacy while interacting with others online. In small groups, they reviewed the draft content for this page, asked questions, and shared their thoughts and feedback. Their participation helped us clarify how we explain our privacy practices using age-appropriate language and help young people better understand and manage their personal data.

Since 2015, DEC's Young Forest Initiative has been increasing young forest habitat on Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) across the state. Now we're also improving habitat of all ages classes of forests on WMAs. A forested landscape with a better balance of young, intermediate, and mature forest will provide habitat for a diversity of wildlife and help many species that are declining.
Young forest refers to an early stage of forest with tree seedlings, saplings, woody vines, shrubs, grasses, and flowering plants growing together. Young forests are approximately 0-20 years old. Historically, young forests were created by disturbances (fire, flooding, insect outbreaks, or changes in human land use), but today active habitat management is required to keep young forest on the landscape.
Species that live in mature forests also benefit from young forest and use it for food and cover, including black bears, bobcats, deer, moose, and many forest interior songbirds. Pollinators also benefit from the flowering plants in forest openings.
The first five years of the Young Forest Initiative focused on adding young forest to the WMA system using methods based on our target species' habitat needs. We used forestry practices that removed most trees (clearcutting) in patches, left a few trees for shade (shelterwood cut), or left a seed source (seed tree cut) to create space for young forest to grow. We planted seedlings, removed invasive plants, conducted prescribed burns, and felled old plantations to allow natural forest to regrow. Now, we also include methods such as thinning that improve all types and ages of forest.
The last two decades have given rise to a body of research establishing that young adults are fundamentally different from both juveniles and older adults in how they process information and make decisions.
Young Adult Court (YAC) in San Francisco was established in summer 2015 for eligible young adults, ages 18-24. The court strives to align opportunities for accountability and transformation with the unique needs and developmental stage of this age group. The caseload in the first year will serve approximately 60-80 clients. Partner agencies include the Superior Court, Office of the District Attorney, Office of the Public Defender, the Department of Public Health, Adult Probation Department, Department of Children, Youth and their Families, the San Francisco Police Department, and Family Service Agency/Felton. YAC is the first of its kind nationwide.
WHO and UNICEF jointly developed the Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding whose aim is to improve - through optimal feeding - the nutritional status, growth and development, health, and thus the very survival of infants and young children.
The Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding aims to revitalize efforts to promote, protect and support appropriate infant and young child feeding. It builds upon past initiatives, in particular the Innocenti Declaration and the Baby-friendly Hospital initiative and addresses the needs of all children including those living in difficult circumstances, such as infants of mothers living with HIV, low-birth-weight infants and infants in emergency situations.
In the area of Cyber Defence it is difficult to get young talent on board that is knowledgeable on the subject, especially when it comes to the political and strategic level. The Young Professional who joined our section brought a unique combination of cyberspace domain expertise with a political and strategic perspective, which complemented the existing expertise. Specifically, the knowledge on state-of-the-art cyberspace topics provided valuable insights and contributions to the ongoing work strands."
The Young People's Book Prize aims to promote literacy in young people and inspire them to read about science. It also supports the writing of excellent, accessible STEM books for under-14s. Each year, the winner is selected by judging panels made up of thousands of young people at schools across the UK from a shortlist selected by an adult panel.
Patients are considered to have young-onset colorectal cancer if they are diagnosed before they turn 50 years old. The incidence rate of colorectal cancer is rising by about 2% annually in young people. By 2030, researchers predict that colorectal cancer will be the leading cause of cancer deaths in people ages 20-49. Researchers have not concluded why young-onset colorectal cancer is on the rise, but the Alliance is funding research to help find out.
Do you employ young workers? Young workers are those new to the workforce, even up to age 24. Young workers can be an asset to your workforce. However, it may be their first job or the first time they are operating equipment.
Child labor laws restrict the types of jobs, hours worked and equipment used by youth under age 18. Learn about the federal and state child labor laws that apply to young workers.
Protecting temporary workers: Many young workers are also temporary workers. Host employers must treat temporary workers as they treat existing workers, especially including adequate training to young temporary workers. Temporary staffing agencies and host employers share control over the employee, and are therefore jointly responsible for the temp employee's safety and health.
You can prevent or reduce workplace injuries and make work safer for all workers, including youth. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act), employers have the responsibility to provide a safe and healthful work environment and comply with occupational safety and health standards. First-line supervisors have the greatest opportunity to protect young workers and influence their work habits. Stress safety!
Wildlife need a sheltered place to raise their offspring. Many places for cover can double as locations where wildlife can raise young, from wildflower meadows and bushes where many butterflies and moths lay their eggs, or caves where bats roost and form colonies.
