Millennials & Generation Z (group after millennials) are the future of our country. In 2015, Millennials overtook baby boomers as the largest living generation. It's time we engage our younger generations. Here's how:
Lower the voting age to 17 so that high school students can begin civic participation early.
Enact civic engagement & "real world" courses in high school so graduating seniors have the life skills to be prepared for the real world.
Create skills programs & apprenticeships for young adults that aren't in school or employed to earn while they learn.
Expand resources for vocational high schools so students can be ready for the work force right out of school.
