How We Do It

Bringing together public, private, and youth partners with diverse capabilities, assets, and reach to achieve lasting impact for young people.

At GenU, we bridge the gap between the world's leading organizations and young people to tackle the most pressing issues facing youth today. We harness the strengths of the public and private sectors, and tap into the drive and ingenuity of young people for addressing problems that are too big for any one sector to solve on its own.
