There was a great, short article on American Express' Open Forum about the collaborative nature of people in the 18-29 year old age group. That's my experience, too- they (we, I should say) are collaborative, optimistic, and go-getters. We have a natural critical eye that the generation before us has (Gen Xers), but without the cynicism. Their attitude said, "hey, that stinks. Those people are terrible." Our attitude is, "hey, that stinks. I should do something about it." What a great starting point when it comes to creatively matching business solutions to social needs.

Faith+Business is excited to harness the optimistic and innovative attitude of young people, cast a large vision for social change through the transforming power of Jesus, and equip them to be effective leaders. What excites you about this generation?
