Center for Rising Generations

Announced in 2024 with an official launch in 2025, the Center for Rising Generations is dedicated to ensuring that civil dialogue, civic engagement, and leadership development become a predictable part of the journey to adulthood in our society and around the world. Inspired by the Aspen Institute’s strategic plan and supported by a transformational investment from the Bezos Family Foundation, the Center for Rising Generations:

- Works to expand opportunities for, and elevate the voices of, youth and young adults at the Aspen Institute;
- Creates opportunities to convene and build community beyond Aspen; and
- Encourages innovation that helps emphasize the assets that young people bring to help address today’s challenges.
