GenerationEngage is a nonpartisan youth-civic-engagement initiative that connects young Americans to political leaders, to other civic organizations, and to meaningful debate about the future they will inherit.
GenerationEngage is built on three principles:
Young people suffer not from a lack of interest, but from a lack of access;
Our democracy should be a dialogue, not a monologue;
The best investment we can make in the future of our democracy is in young leaders at the local
level.
