COMING SOON
A New Generation
Now more than ever, West Virginia needs to be a place where young people can thrive. Every day, young WVians are coming of age and looking for ways to stay. Ex-pats are looking for a path home. People are moving—driven by the pandemic—to rural areas.
Generation West Virginia is answering the call with a new brand for a new era of our work. Our mission— retaining, advancing, and attracting young people to the Mountain State— remains the same. Our new brand will embody that mission, as well as our commitment to providing young people with the tools, resources, and connections needed to make a home for their dreams here.
We’re teaming up with dreamers and doers across the state to clear paths. To build fulfilling communities and careers so that, throughout the Mountain State, more people can find their way and find their people.
Stay in touch.
Join us to shape a future that’s full of possibility for everyone who wants to call West Virginia home.
