By combining the talents of young people across America and the right technology, we can forge the solutions that our century demands."

Virtual Student Foreign Service
So I signed up for the Virtual Student Foreign Service (VSFS) Internships program and waiting for my assignment. This is a brand new program announced by Secretary Clinton at the 2009 New York University commencement. This program is "part of a growing effort by the State Department to harness technology and a commitment to global service among young people to facilitate new forms of diplomatic engagement." State is still figuring out how all this will work but I think this is a great idea to use the resources of the youth who know Facebook, blogging, Twitter and all that better than anyone.. why not "harness the energy of a rising generation of citizen diplomats." I am excited to participate and will of course keep you all updated here.
