Recommendations on Leveraging Age Diversity to Build a Stronger Democracy Now

As members of the New Pluralist community, Future Caucus, Generation Citizen, and CoGenerate (formerly Encore.org) collaborated to conduct pioneering, practitioner-facing research that resulted in a landscape analysis of 25 civic organizations! We identified and executed our research goal of articulating emerging trends, shared values, and actionable strategies that work to engage groups across all stages of the civic life cycle. Additionally, this study presents pathways to engaging youth and elders across generational exchange and collaboration.
