Millennial Rhode Island

Millennial Rhode Island Millennial Rhode Island is a generational network inspiring millennials to . We as "Millennial Rhode Island" (MRI) wish to see this trend change.

Our state has prodigious universities and unparalleled technical programs producing a skilled and educated workforce. These young up-and-comings are often burdened with student debt, underemployment and lack of hands on experience in the field of their choosing. MRI wants to focus on keeping young talent here in the state. Whether it be through looking at more business/entrepreneur friendly statew

ide policies or tackling the crippling student loan issues facing our generation, MRI wants to make sure that Rhode Island is both a destination and a home. We want to demonstrate statewide and nationally, that the 300,000 millennials that reside here are invested in improving Rhode Island and we are worth being invested in.
