For the first time in the 21st century, the current generation of college-aged Americans will be less educated than their parents.
Higher education is a primary factor in improving the state of our communities and our country, but if the current student population, all members of the Millennial Generation, is falling short of achieving its educational goals, our country faces a significant problem with consequences impacting our nation for decades to come.
If you are a student facing difficulties in completing your education and you have creative ideas about ways you, your community and school can better support students, Mobilize.org wants to hear from you.
Apply to attend the first Mobilize.org “Target: 2020 | My Education. Our Future.” and join 150 students from North Carolina’s community colleges to identify the barriers students face in achieving their educational goals and develop student-led solutions to address them. Summits will also be held in California and Florida in 2011.
Utilizing keypad-voting technology, participants will select the top five projects that will receive Democracy 2.0 Awards; a share of $25,000 and a year of expert support to be implemented on campus, in their community or online.
Interested in attending? Visit Mobilize.org/Target2020 to learn more and apply today.
It’s your education, but it’s our future.
