GEN: Impact pairs groups of motivated teens with seasoned climate professionals who bring decades of experience turning bold ideas into real-world projects. Alongside these experts, undergraduate mentors support teens with project management, goal setting, and meeting deadlines—creating a dynamic, intergenerational team dedicated to systems change.

Together, this diverse group collaborates throughout the year to design, plan, and implement climate solutions tailored to their community’s needs. GEN: Impact is more than a mentorship program—it’s a catalyst for meaningful local action driven by youth leadership, professional guidance, and hands-on learning.
Through this model, teens gain insider knowledge of what it takes to create lasting climate impact, while building skills and connections that prepare them to be the next generation of changemakers.
