[edit] Early life and education

Beale graduated with a B.A. from Georgetown University in 1998 and with an MPA from the University of Delaware in 2008. As a student at Georgetown he protested federal cuts in student aid as part of the Contract with America in 1994. He later became the youngest Core Supervisor from any country for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) during the 1997 municipal elections. After graduating from Georgetown, he worked for Thomas R. Carper of Delaware and later for President William Clinton in the White House as the Associate Director of Intergovernmental Affairs.

[edit] As an author and speaker

After leaving the White House in 2001, Beale researched and published a book on the politics and service of the generation after “X”, the Millennial Generation, titled, “Millennial Manifesto: A Youth Activist Handbook.” He also helped authors William Strauss and Neil Howe with their book, "Millennials Rising". He then traveled across the United States, and to India, giving presentations on how to be a youth activist. He has appeared on CBS discussing the politics of the generation and after the 2004 Election. The Youth Vote Coalition named him one of “30 people Under 30 Changing Politics in America”

[edit] As a social entrepreneur

In 2001 Beale joined Youth Venture, a sister organization of Ashoka: Innovators for the Public, to promote youth social entrepreneurship in the United States. In 2004, he left Youth Venture to go to India to work for the U.S. State Department coordinating the U.S. government’s efforts to fight human trafficking. After this experience, in 2006 Beale launched his own nonprofit organization, Atlas Service Corps, Inc. (“Atlas Corps”). Atlas Corps is a fellowship program that identifies rising nonprofit leaders from the developing world to volunteer in the U.S. for one year. It has been described by some as “reversing the flow of the Peace Corps.” Atlas Corps has a Board and Senior Advisory Board that includes: Senator Harris Wofford; Bill Drayton of Ashoka; and Author David Bornstein.
