Are Young Workers the "Go Nowhere" Generation?

While Some Think Millenials Are the Lost Generation, Scott Gerber Plans to #FixYoungAmerica

Now is the Time

Q: Why is now a good time for #FixYoungAmerica to launch?

Gerber: In a general election year, the national discourse almost always turns negative -- there’s an overwhelming focus on what’s not working. But it also presents a unique opportunity to reach a lot of people -- and that’s why we’re starting the movement right now.

#FixYoungAmerica’s goal is to get our solutions into the hands of the decision makers (among them nonprofit leaders, educators, politicians, ordinary citizens, C-level executives, and everyone else with a stake in keeping America competitive) who are best able to scale some of the programs and policies that are already working in this country -- like owner-entrepreneurship education, self-employment assistance programs, intrapreneurship and franchising -- that will help put young Americans back to work, faster.
