At the 2022 IBD meeting in Montenegro, there was a very large contingent of 18-40 year-olds having a great time. The UK Young Mensa group and the Minnesota GenY group reflect the vibrant international community of young Mensans.

"Minnesota Mensa's branch of Mensa GenY! We're filling the chasm between GenX and TeenSIG. This group is currently for Mensans born after 1976 who are 18+. We're quickly becoming the largest segment on Mensa during the best part of our lives. We can all take part in making this group truly outstanding! Mensa is social, GenY is connected, and the internet empowers those who have the drive to pursue their goals. Let's do this thing!"
