Ageism in America – From The Bottom Up?

Posted in General News, Life Lessons by Jared on November 28th, 2007

A DC friend of mine was recently featured in the Washington Post about his initiatives to advance the rights of youth in this country.

The basic premise of the article is that youth in this country are sometimes forced into very specific age roles and, as you can imagine, this piqued my interest.

As we’ve seen, particularly with 20-somethings, as the soon as you put someone in a box, they are going to fight to get out. As you can expect, the article brought out some interesting comments from WaPo readers.

Regardless of what you think of him, however, you have to give Alex some serious credit for building an incredible organization. A very insightful 20-something following his dreams and his passion; we should all be so lucky.
