More on those Millenials

I was just on the blog of a sister organization, Metro Volunteers (Denver), and their top post was also about recent coverage of the Millenials and their community invovlement.

There's a recent study from the Case Foundation noting that:
"Millenials are set apart from other generations by their cause lifestyle-a youth that is infused with giving and volunteering, eventually complemented by careers dedicated to causes. They are a generation defined by the fervent belief they can change the world one donation, one voluntary activity, or one purchase at a time. They are less interested in and adept at interacting with government agencies and more interested in hands-on ways of improving the lives of people domestically and internationally." ("Social Citizens," The Case Foundation, 2008)

Even better, it's written by a proud Millenial who's tired of her generation and their "excessive sense of self-worth" getting knocked around.
