The Californer/10314143

IRVINE, Calif. - Californer -- First introduced years ago to spark civic engagement among youth, Be The Generation returns at a time when it's needed more than ever. "With government funding being cut in so many critical areas, especially public health and education, we felt called to bring this initiative back," said Jennifer Chi, Founder and CEO of Live Good. "It's a reminder to our college student team members that they don't have to wait for change. They already possess the capacity to lead with purpose, to respond with compassion, and to create lasting impact—right where they are."

Rooted in the belief that leadership doesn't begin and end in elected office, Be The Generation highlights how dedicated individuals can move entire communities forward. From voter engagement to service projects, the initiative centers on youth empowerment, community resilience, and collective responsibility.
