Having worked in school after school, these dynamic youth-assembly speakers have gained a vantage point that gives them a uniquely formed view of who today’s students actually are: how they process information, what’s genuinely weighing on them, and where they light up with real strength. We’ll explore what our speakers see as they engage on the ground with Gen Z and Gen Alpha. This webinar will move past generational stereotypes to get at what’s actually true, and explore what it means for SRAE educators and youth-serving professionals to reach these students with lasting impact. Join us as we explore how Gen Z and Gen Alpha think, where they struggle, and where they show surprising resilience. Join us to hear what they're seeing and what it could mean for your work.
