Social Citizens Report Praises Young Activists

A new report commissioned by The Case Foundation, titled Social Citizens, recognizes the new Millinial generation for their passionate and tech-savy philanthropy - instead of the bum rap they've received lately of complacency and apathy. The 70-page paper provides insight into the motivations of young givers (Millenials are currently ages 15-29), and how their seemingly inborn ability to communicate through modern technology aides them in nurturing those passions.

The Partnership applauds Millenials for their innovative efforts to "change the world", and we would like to share this paper with others as a way to hopefully motivate people to "plug in", get connected, and stay connected . Just click here to start reading. Our agency's programs offer so much to this community; whether it's shelter for domestic violence victims, independence for the elderly, foster care for abused and neglected children, or services for the deaf and hard of hearing. There is a place for those who want to get involved to do so, and in a way that truly resonates with their core values and priorities.

Millenials, Baby Boomers, Gen X or Gen Y......contact the Partnership at 423.755.2702 or email info@partnershiptoday.org and let us know what your passion is. Together, we can empower people to build better lives.
