Youth250

For 250 years, the American story has been written by young people. Today’s young adults, Gen Z, are at the helm of a global youth wave, ushering in our future. How we mark this moment matters — for today and for tomorrow.

Youth250 is a dynamic, nonpartisan initiative to capture young people’s imaginations, ideas and input as the United States turns 250 years old in 2026. With workshops, a toolkit and a national youth bureau, we help institutions serve younger generations and create avenues for youth input across society.

What We’re Building

  1. Imagine + Incubate Workshops – Intergenerational design sprints
  2. Toolkit – Tips, tools and tactics for institutions to reach young people
  3. Living Documentary – Capturing Gen Z’s experience in this pivotal moment
  4. National Youth Bureau – Hundreds of young adults activated to serve in advisory roles, forming a blueprint for intergenerational input at the highest levels of our society
