YoungFeds.org Goes Live - Gen Y Portal Targets Fed Workers to Enhance their Careers

The unconstrained thinking and technical prowess of Generation Y now dwarf even Generation X.  Many times on this blog, we have noted the strengths of this generation, and the key role they will play in the ongoing transformation of government. Therefore, it was encouraging to see a new site, youngfeds.org, that targets this audience has gone live this week. From the web site we learn:

"YoungFeds.org is an online and live destination for young professionals working in and with the federal government to meet, network and advance. www.youngFeds.org is a project of The Council for Excellence in Government, and is supported by GEICO."

A good article in the Washington Post highlights what the site will be about.   It will be interesting to see what change agents and dialogue emerge through this site. It will also be interesting to see how fast it is adopted and if it becomes a true destination for Generation Y and a little bit of X (35 and under please) to aggregate and share ideas.

Congrats to the Council for pushing this out.
