Gary passed on this story about how young people (millennials) are an essential part of success with startups in communities world-wide. It’s applicable to PSA which has done some experimentation working with young people, and is in contact with organizations such as Ngage who are focused on this age group.
[gview file=”https://publicservicesalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/The-Importance-of-Young-People-In-Your-Startup-Community-Feld-Thoughts.pdf”]Behind every successful startup community is a group of young people with their entire life ahead of them. These youngsters aren’t afraid to take on projects bigger than themselves and won’t take no for an answer.
They come from all different walks of life, places around the globe, and with varied experiences and knowledge. And they all come with enthusiasm and a desire to learn. Over time, as they learn who they are as young adults, they grow the communities they are a part of into something unique.
