Gen Z 101: Connect, Engage, and Inspire Young Audiences in the Hudson Valley

The Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley will convene regional history, cultural, and civic organizations for a timely conversation on engaging the next generation, as we approach America250, the anniversary of the United States. Gen Z (ages 18–30) isn’t a future audience—they’re engaging with history and civic life today. Join Caroline Klibanoff, executive director of Made By Us, for a practical and engaging session on how to better understand and connect with Gen Z. Participants will understand what motivates younger generations, how they engage with history today and how authentic engagement can strengthen institutional relevance.
