Who We Are
A Movement of Youth Empowerment: Phoenix Generation is more than a conference; it’s a movement that fosters leadership, challenges bias, and creates opportunities for youth to rise together.
Inspired by History: Drawing from the values of nonviolent activism and the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we work to build a "beloved community" rooted in love, peace, and justice.
What We Do
The Phoenix Generation Conference: An annual event featuring keynote speakers, breakout sessions, civic dialogue roundtables, and a community fair. Over 400 students and educators gather to learn, share, and connect.
Campus Programming: Workshops and training sessions designed to develop leadership skills, foster respectful dialogue, and equip students with tools to tackle local and global challenges.
Why It Matters
The Potential of Youth: With 30% of the population represented by Generation Z, the world’s future is in the hands of young changemakers eager to build a more just and connected society.
Empowered Voices: Our programs provide a platform for youth to express their visions, collaborate across differences, and drive systemic transformation.
