In case you missed it, Matthew Segal was on the Today Show this morning to discuss issues of importance to young Americans! Click here to watch the segment!
Congress promised to create jobs in the Serve America Act. They failed us. Should we create one million new jobs? “DUH!”

Haha!
We have set an aggressive goal of standing
ONE MILLION STRONG for ONE MILLION JOBS.This May, as over 4.5 million Americans graduate from high school and college, they will enter a world with record unemployment. It’s time to speak out – sign our petition telling the presidential candidates to support a measure creating one million youth service jobs in areas of national need such as nursing, teaching, technology, green jobs and more! With one million of our voices united, we will be too loud to ignore.
From the Washington Post:
Karen Reinhardt, a talent development executive with Lockheed Martin, noted that millennials want to be empowered.
“Millennials want a little bit of guidance, along with opportunities to express themselves and to be innovative. I’ve managed millennials on teams at Lockheed Martin and am consistently impressed with how talented, creative and resourceful they are. If you give them opportunities to share their insights, they can really come up with ideas that others may not have even considered.”
Experts often refer to this as reverse mentoring — using millennials to share some of their skills with their older mentors.
This graduation season millions of high school and college students will face a lousy job market with record unemployment. But, instead of feeling helpless, there is something you can do about it right now and it only takes a few seconds.
Will you sign the petition to create one million jobs?
OUR TIME believes that we can do more when we unite to make our voices heard. Because of this, we are organizing an online petition telling the presidential candidates to support a measure creating one million service positions in areas of national need such as nursing, teaching, technology, environment, poverty and more!
Our goal is to stand one million strong for one million jobs. And we have set an aggressive deadline to get 100,000 signatures by the end of April.
All you have to do is add your name before the deadline.
So, my question is - are you in?
It’s that simple: even the presidential candidates can’t ignore the voices of one million Americans saying they are ready to work. So please build the movement and add your name.
