IMPACTING POLICY

dedicated to attracting, retaining, and advancing young talent in the Mountain State

West Virginia is one of the few states in the nation with a declining population. In confronting this reality, one thing is very clear: the state’s future depends on its ability to become an ideal destination for young talent. We are working toward a vision of West Virginia where challenges are seen as opportunities, young people are drivers in our state’s future, and the Mountain State is a destination for young talent to live, work, and thrive.

Engaging young West Virginians

Generation West Virginia represents a network of over 400 leaders and members across our 12 local Generations in the state. Through our local Generations and statewide programming, we provide access to leadership development, civic engagement, and social connectivity that serves and inspires over 500 young West Virginians each year.

Empowering young voices

The voices of the next generation shape our programming and activities. From professional research to more informal surveys on social media, Generation West Virginia keeps the evolving needs and motivations of young West Virginians at the center of our work. Between our two more recent surveys, we gathered the opinions and perspectives of over 800 young West Virginians.

Impacting policy

We organize young people to come to the WV Capitol to impact policy and issues relevant to their lives. We also engage thousands of young advocates through digital communications platforms. In 2016, Generation WV was able to influence the passage of the Young Entrepreneur Reinvestment Act, Crowdfunding Bill, Uber Bill, and the Brunch Bill and we were part of an important coalition responsible for defeating the discriminatory Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
