Introduction

This volume, edited by Reid Cramer and S. Melody Frierson, is the product of the collective efforts of the 2017-18 Millennial Public Policy Fellows and their colleagues in the Millennials Initiative and throughout New America. It begins with an article making the case for crafting a public policy agenda informed by the experience of those coming of age in the wake of the Great Recession. Part I presents material from the one-day April 2018 symposium focused on the cross-cutting issues of care, community, technology, and civic engagement, including summaries of the proceedings and panel discussions. Part II features the policy research of the Millennial Fellows, with each paper highlighting a pressing national issue, analysis of prevailing dynamics, and a set of policy recommendations. Finally, Part III includes short biographical sketches of each fellow and selections from The Direct Message, the blog of the Millennial Initiative.
