http://theedger.org/ – “Edger is a Center for Inquiry student initiative”.
Edger presents hard-hitting and reasoned news, views, and event promotion on issues pertaining to secularism, atheism, science, humanism, and the cosmos, and actively promotes and celebrates international freethought activism. Written in a youthful tone, but mature in content, Edger is sure to be a driving force in the new intellectual enlightenment.
They have as a mission statement:
To create an outlet for prominent young freethought leaders to express their views and get them heard. Blogs are becoming very commonplace, and alone many blogs fail, but together, with the proper direction and an engaging and professional site, these blogging leaders can come together to make an impact far beyond what they could have achieved on their own.
Check it out! By the way, I hear that the Young Australian Skeptics site will be getting underway soon, so go have a peek there too.

Thx for the pitch! Edger is officially “launching” on Monday.
I read your blog quite often so you can expect to get some hat tips and links on our site.
No, no, thank YOU for being a part of it – I was able to use it as an example to someone who is writing up a little something on structured and supportive activism for young people!
I think this is really a ‘new wave’ in terms of using the internet and having a legitimate support-base that can be recognised by educators and provides an identity that you can take into other ventures.
I would be interested in getting together with the edger and seeing if we can have some sort of site link. I didn’t know they existed. Email me at youngausskeptics@live.com if you are interested in doing something
Skelliot, Young Australian Skeptics.
Ooh, very nice. Consider me interested, as always. Danke, Kylie.
It’s great to hear that more young freethought leaders are speaking their minds. This movement is light-years ahead of where it was just a few years ago. Congrats!
