Community Engagement Gets An A+

As the future leaders of tomorrow young professionals should strive to become active and engaged citizens in their communities. Sound like something your boss might tell you? Well, your boss is right.
And it turns out that young professionals actually like to be engaged! Something your boss would probably say, "Go figure!" to. I run a group in Fort Collins, Colorado called Envision: Young Professionals. I believe this is not my first blog about this group. One of Envision's main goals is to bring community issues education to the young professionals. All they have to do is show up to my events to not only network with others but to take a step toward becoming an active citizen in the Fort Collins community. It is a lot like the fast food of community involvement.
This idea of delivering education and access to issues to young professionals got some raised eyebrows at first. We weren't sure if they would like that. A year and half later this is what makes Envision unique and draws in over 100 young professionals to each event. Young professionals can see the value of learning about their community. Not only is it fun but it is important to know the issues, talk about the issues and make good decisions come the the time the responsibility falls into our lap.
