Former President Barack Obama is set to give his first public speech on Monday since leaving the White House. Obama met with at-risk youth on Sunday in his hometown of Chicago before his major post-presidency speech. The former president spent time with young men and boys from the organization Chicago Create Real Economic Destiny, where Obama worked as a community organizer at the age of 25. The program, which provides employment opportunities to at-risk youth, was founded by Obama's education secretary Arne Duncan.
