The purpose of this exploratory study was to identify and describe the attitudes and beliefs held by individuals at the front-end of the millennial generation (high school students, primarily 16-18 years old). Specifically, this study sought to develop a preliminary understanding of how 75 members of the millennial generation made sense of their own and their peers’ attitudes toward religion, family, education, work, community service, politics, and their future.
