America is at a crossroads. We are alienated from civic engagement, and our democracy is in doubt. Yet there’s a new energy in the air flow. Young people are again taking on the function they’ve often held: as leaders of change, challenging a better future, wielding their votes to uphold democracy and lead the country forwards.

Enter Generation Resident, an organization focused on empowering youth through revitalizing civics education across America. Since its origins in ’09 2009 during CEO and cofounder about Generation Citizen: THE ENERGY of Youth in Our Politics Scott Warren’s senior year at Brown, Generation Citizen has grown to become one of the preeminent civics education companies in the united states.

Generation Resident: The Power of Youth inside our Politics details Warren’s political awakening alongside tales of how young people will always be the instruments of political change. Generation Citizen can be a practical instruction, providing concrete steps to jumpstart an engagement with politics and rekindle our love of democracy. Through interviews with college students and historical portraits of young people who have enacted great politics change-from the civil rights movement to the election of Ronald Reagan to #BlackLivesMatter and the Parkland students’ standing up to gun violence-Generation Citizen implies that over and over, it is the teenagers who lead the way to change.
