![]() For ten years Scott was a recognized leader of the Millennial Generation as the author of "Millennial Manifesto: A Youth Activist Handbook" and the founder of Millennial Politics.com. He has published many articles and delivered over 300 speeches on his "10 Steps To Change the World". He has even appeared on CBS discussing the politics of his generation. After the 2004 Election, the Youth Vote Coalition named him on of "30 People Under 30 Changing Politics in America." In addition to his political activism, Scott is an experienced social entrepreneur. As the Mid Atlantic Director of Youth Venture (a sister organization of Ashoka: Innovators for the Public), he helped over 1,000 young people start citizen sector organizations. While at Youth Venture, he helped expand the organization from approximately three to twenty-five, in large part due to a partnership with AmeriCorps VISTA and the Corporation for National Service. Scott also founded a small nonprofit organization, the 2100 Fund, that organizes large parties to raise money for charity. Scott's activism started at a young age. As a freshman at Georgetown University, Scott organized rallies at the U.S. Capitol to protest cuts in federal financial aid. The protests were so well organized that he helped reverse the education cuts in the Contract for America protecting Pell Grants and Stafford Loans for hundreds of thousands of young people. He became active organizing students with Rock the Vote (RTV), taking him to both the New Hampshire primaries, and the Democratic National Convention. He then helped register 1,000 students on campus organizing the first-ever successful election of two students to the local government. By the end of Scott's senior year, his leadership on campus won him the recognition of the University President and both campus papers, which labeled him one of "the most prominent students on campus." Additionally, Scott was nominated for the school's highest honor, the Spronk Medal. Since college, Scott's activism has extended beyond the United States, three times taking him to Bosnia, once as the youngest member of an advance U.S. State Department group. While there, he became the youngest Core Supervisor from any country for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), an intergovernmental organization responsible for supervising elections in war-recovering Bosnia. Scott's management of a forty-five person international team resulted in the successful registration of over 30,000 Bosnian voters. In the States, Scott has worked for Governor Tom Carper of Delaware as well as the Associate Director of Intergovernmental Affairs at the White House. Scott returned overseas in 2004 to coordinate the U.S. Government's efforts to fight human trafficking in India. Scott helped coordinate $9 million of USG resources to citizen organization and international organizations in India who were fighting modern day slavery. He worked with the Government of India to advance their response to trafficking. He also wrote reports for the U.S. State Department on trafficking and issues related to trafficking such as female feticide, and child labor. In March 2006, Scott left India to start Atlas Service Corps. He now splits time between Bogotá, Colombia, Washington, DC, Newark, Delaware and New Delhi, India developing a revolutionary method of international service. He is happily married to Courtney Allison Kramer Beale, who is a U.S. Foreign Service Officer serving in Colombia.
