Dedicated to Helping Rhode Island’s Millennials
Millennial Rhode Island was created to help you #ChooseRI. We believe that Rhode Island is the best place to live, to have fun, to work, to start businesses, and to start families in. Rhode Island is home to some of the best universities in the world. Our culinary scene is unmatched. Our coastlines and beaches are breathtakingly beautiful. And Providence, our state’s capital, is quickly becoming a cradle for creativity and risk-takers.
Choosing RI After College
For millennials, choosing RI isn’t easy. We’ve experienced some of the worst financial hardships in recent history. We’re burdened with student debt, we deal with underemployment, and many of us are dissatisfied working a job we didn’t aspire to do. So many of us leave and hit the reset button. We roll the dice hoping that our dreams are somewhere beyond the borders of our state. We don’t want you to do that. We want you to keep your dreams here in Rhode Island. Millennial RI is dedicated to increasing the number of millennials who #ChooseRI after college. We do this together by providing you:
A network of friendly professionals that want to see you succeed.
Professional and personal development workshops.
A voice for creating millennial-friendly policies from our local and state governments.
