About the Next Generation Politics Organization

Founded by a group of politically-minded students, Next Generation Politics is a coalition of students, educators, and elected officials who all share the common goal of facilitating political discussion among young people, as well as between them and their elected representatives to ensure that no young voter feels indifferent to politics. Members attend events, write articles for our blog, organize town halls and debates, and even start their own chapters. However, our end purpose remains to ensure that our generation’s youth is politically informed and equipped with strong and developed opinions in order to have an effective hand in government.
