Building the Next Generation of Change Agents

Generation Waking Up (GenUp) is the youth partner initiative to Awakening the Dreamer, a global campaign to ignite a generation of young people to bring forth a thriving, just, sustainable world.

Generation Waking Up: Igniting A Future


Through their open-source, multimedia WakeUp Experience and other trainings, GenUp is mobilizing young people locally and globally across issues, geography and all lines of difference, unleashing the collaborative power of the Millennial Generation.

Joshua Gorman, GenUp Core Team Member

“We are the middle children of history, coming of age at the crossroads of civilization, a generation rising between an old world dying and a new world being born. We are the ‘make-it or break-it’ generation, the ‘all-or-nothing’ generation, the crucible through which civilization must pass or crash.”

Equipping the Next Generation of Visionary Leaders

As a generation that has grown up amid social, environmental, and spiritual crises, the Millennial Generation is facing unprecedented challenges and profound opportunities unknown to their parents and grandparents. Perhaps more than anyone, they know that now is not the time to play small, but to change the whole game.

The WakeUp has already reached over 2,500 young people in at least 12 countries worldwide, thanks to the efforts of more than 150 volunteer facilitators, and continues to spread.
