Q. What do young social innovators do for fun?

A. Hang out at StartingBloc’s fall seminar, of course.

About two months ago, while I was waiting for a phenomenally delayed plane at the Dulles Airport, I picked up a copy of the summer edition of Fast Company. Beyond the excellent article about the “Rise of the Aerotropolis”, a short description of StartingBloc caught my eye. It was a fellowship for college students and young professionals who were interested in the intersection of the private sector, sustainability and social change. My first thought was “Wow, this is fantastic, where do I sign up?”
