Empowering Our Youth

We've seen that young people, in cities that experience rapid growth and change, are caught in the crossfire of change. Rising rents, displacement, and altered community dynamics can contribute to feelings of disenfranchisement among youth. These challenges often manifest in increased youth crime rates and a general disconnection from their communities.

Populace recognizes the urgent need for community-driven solutions to address these issues. Our programs are designed to empower young people to be active agents of change in their neighborhoods. By investing in leadership development, entrepreneurship, and urban planning, we believe we can build bridges between generations, foster economic opportunity, and create more inclusive and equitable communities.

Our experience in these cities has shown us that when young people are equipped with the right tools and support, they can become catalysts for positive transformation. By partnering with schools, community organizations, and local businesses, we are committed to creating sustainable change in these vibrant cities.

Interested in hosting a Next Gen one-day event or an Aspire to Develop cohort in your city? We’re happy to discuss.​​
