What’s Age Got To Do With It? Building a Multigenerational Movement

Project Team member Helen Kim will be speaking at the Asian American Justice Center’s Advancing Justice Conference. This interactive session will examine issues related to generational change in leadership and building a multigenerational movement through case scenarios, exercises, presentation of examples and discussions. Drawing on the work done by the Building Movement Project and presented in Working Across Generations: Defining the Future of Nonprofit Leadership, participants will learn about similarities and differences between generations of movement builders, especially between those who came of age in the 1960s and 1970s and those in newer generations. The session will offer the opportunity to re-examine our current assumptions and relationships between generations as well as ideas to shift organizational culture and structure that can promote greater trust and more shared leadership across generations.
