Generation West Virginia equips young West Virginians with key skills and career opportunities, ensuring their ability to thrive in the Mountain State.
Our work is driven by the belief that when every young person has the tools, resources, and connections needed to make a home for their dreams here, we’ll end up building a better West Virginia for generations to come.
We understand that our mission requires us to pivot when needed. We adopt a proactive problem-solving mindset, viewing challenges as opportunities for growth. By staying curious and being nimble, we effectively navigate challenges and uncover innovative solutions that best serve our community.
We have a relentless passion for caring for our place, state and people. We strive to change perceptions and create a positive, authentic representation of our state and its incredible people. Through dedicated action and unwavering support, we aim to uplift our community and inspire a brighter future for all.
We value collaboration as a key to success. By working together with young adults, employers, and community partners, we create a supportive network that fosters meaningful relationships and enhances our impact.
Generation WV holds value in where we work. GWV finds ways to include the diverse communities we represent from across the state in all programs. Our remote working culture allows us to live in our sense of place and guide the organization in thoughtful decision making. We are a collective of individual West Virginians that believe in the power of all voices and people being present in the state’s future. Our mission is to bring along all young West Virginians to newer purpose, greater quality of life and freedom to grow.
