THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN

Soon the Baby-Boomer generation in today's workplace will be retiring across the united states, and there is a critical need to ensure that systemic efforts are in place in local communities to educate, mentor, train, and employ the next generation of employees that will reinvest their education and practical skills in our communities as future nonprofit organization administrators, public policy officials, government employees, corporate public affairs & community relations executives, social service providers, and more.

The Millennium National City of Opportunity Initiative is a leadership development promotional campaign presented by Millennium Momentum Foundation, Inc., in a public-private partnership with local cities and corporations across the United States to promote leadership development training, mentoring, volunteerism, and job creation for those high school seniors, college bound youth (ages 18-24), and current college students specifically seeking to reinvest their education and practical skills back into their local cities through careers in public service.
