Every young person deserves the opportunity to build a stable, fulfilling, and successful future. The choices made during the teen and young-adult years can create a strong foundation for lifelong financial security, healthy relationships, and thriving families.
The Success Formula encourages young people to focus on four important milestones:
Research involving young adults found that 97% of those who completed the key steps of graduating from high school, working full time, and marrying before having children avoided poverty as adults. These milestones are not a guarantee or a judgment of anyone’s circumstances. They are practical guideposts that can help young people plan for the future and improve their opportunities for long-term stability.
Whether you are a teenager planning your future, a parent supporting your children, an educator guiding students, or a family working to build a strong home, you will find practical information and resources here.
There is no single life story, and not every journey follows the same path. Every young person and family deserves encouragement, practical support, and access to information that can help them move forward.
By promoting education, meaningful work, healthy marriages, responsible parenthood, and engaged fathers, we can help more young Ohioans build stable futures and stronger families.
