In June 2018, Independent Sector and Stanford Social Innovation Review launched Civil Society for the 21st Century, an article series featuring some of today’s leading thinkers and practitioners exploring current issues in civil society.

In this essay, Yordanos Eyoel, partner at New Profit, a national venture philanthropy organization, provides non-millennials with her sharp observations about:
- Our failure to include younger stakeholders in the civic dialogue
- Three things we should know about their beliefs, values, and what is important to millennials
- Three key inclusive steps we must take to rebuild a civil society that is trusted, relevant, and responsive to today’s challenges
