IRS990/Desc0During 2016, the organization conducted a research program to develop a strategy for identifying the depth of interest and support for creating a network designed to address the needs, both perceived and real, for the Mississippi age group defined as "millennials," those between the ages of 18 and 35 generally. This included the monitoring of legislative activities that might affect those of that age group, particularly the state's commitment to education, Kindergarten through College. Education materials were conceived, the website was redesigned, and various outreach media were refined. The organizaton also conducted one-on-one and group meetings with this targeted age group.
