Mission:

Based on the belief that young people have the power to serve as catalysts for change, GenerAction seeks to inspire a culture of social awareness and responsibility among youth while empowering them with the knowledge, tools and opportunities necessary to successfully engage in social action.

Vision:

With the credo that our generation will be one of action, GenerAction will promote volunteerism and social engagement among high school and college students through creative and engaging opportunities while uniting the efforts of young social activists and socially-minded organizations in a broader movement to spread the word of the potential for youth action. Equipped with the necessary know-how and resources, young people will take on social responsibility en masse and create patterns of lifelong philanthropic involvement.

Movement Overview:

Operating under the nonprofit umbrella of EACEF, the East African Children's Education Fund, GenerAction will create a movement of youth dedicated to creating measurable change in their communities and world. GenerAction asks youth "What is your Action?", and through creative and dynamic opportunities, GenerAction will encourage young people who have yet to find their passion to engage in volunteerism and activism while providing to youth who have already identified their cause another venue to pursue their passions and spread their message to others. GenerAction will also provide information and discussion panels on a variety of pressing social issues with the goal of sufficiently informing the next generation so that they can find solutions to these problems. Finally, GenerAction will provide the tools and resources necessary for aspiring social entrepreneurs and activists to implement their projects and solutions aimed at bettering the world.  The first major program will be GenerAction Week, an interactive and engaging week of service and concert that will introduce thousands of students to social action.
