Deadline Nov 20: Opportunity for Youth Ages 13–18: Generator Z
November 20, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Generator Z recognizes 2020 as a year of incredible challenge and uncertainty for young people. Afterschool opportunities, often the time and space where teens can explore their interests, grow socially, and prepare for adulthood, are in transition. Generator Z invites teens in Western New York and Southeast Michigan to become ‘Generators’ and share their ideas on how to reimagine the future of afterschool. Teens, ages 13–18, living in Western New York and Southeast Michigan can apply through Generator‑Z.org to become “Generators” and share their vision for the direction of afterschool. Applications are open now through Nov. 20th.
1,000 selected teens will be paid $1,000 each for their participation. In early 2021, Generator Z will invite afterschool providers to apply for grants based on the insight gathered from teens. In the next year, $1 million in stipends will be paid to teens and $3 million in grants to organizations.
Please feel free to share and follow this initiative on social media @GeneratorZFuture.
