About Us

We are a global group of academics and practitioners - ranging from university students, professors, to business executives and non-profit leaders - who are on a mission to inspire the younger generation and address the most pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges facing the world.

The GEN Global Citizens Network launched in 2020 with the first meeting of our international steering committee, and we followed this with the formation of student teams in Japan, China, and the United States in 2022, South Korea in 2024 and South Africa in 2026. We are now expanding to include teams of students and young professionals in more countries. We are testing models of collaboration across these teams and refining our website portal as we expand our reach. We plan to organize an annual virtual global summit for young leaders beginning in 2028.
