Networking Resources For Entrepreneurs

Question: I’m a 20-year-old entrepreneur who started my first business at age 17. I’ve been putting 30 hours into it every week, and it now pays my way through school. But my biggest problem is finding others my age who are as passionate about business as I am. Do you know of any resources to help us 20-something entrepreneurs?
