To help get you started, do take a look at some of the different groups available which are built around specific issues and also locations; our Washington, DC group would be a good place for you to begin. This will help you be aware of events coming to your area as well as finding connections with like-minded individuals.
If you'd like to start a book club once you read The Blue Sweater, you can check out our Blue Sweater Fan Group too.
Given your work with Ashoka's Youth Venture, you may also be interested in Campuses for Social Enterprise to connect with like-minded students around the world. Lastly, please add a picture to your profile, as that will make it much easier to connect with others here.
Welcome and let me know if I can be of help as you move forward!
