GenZ Girl Gang started as a bold experiment to see how our generation can use social media as a communitybuilding tool in order to reshape and redefine how we practice sisterhood in the age of infinite connection. Now, more than ever, Gen Z is using social media to create and build communities that know no geographic or demographic borders. Our generation is developing understanding and connection across lines of race, socioeconomic status, and sexuality in an unprecedented way. At GenZ Girl Gang, we have cultivated and continue to build a socially conscious community of
young women, femmes, and nonbinary individuals. Together, we work with all of our community members to imagine and share opportunities, bridge generational gaps, and learn from and teach each other. GenZ Girl Gang’s dedication to creating and using a digital platform to support our community members in achieving their highest potential has come to life as we both connect people to and create opportunities for them on and offline. One of our community members writes, “GGG’s ‘Opportunities’ story highlights helped me land my very first internship position with All Womxn’s Project! Without GGG, I doubt I would have heard about such a wonderful opportunity, and I am very thankful for all the hard work that some individuals do in order for people like me to glean opportunities.” But it doesn’t stop at internships; we’ve hosted our own in-person events, created wellness and mentorship chats, helped our members land gigs and jobs, and connected with new programs where our members have been able to take up leadership positions. We truly believe in the power and potential
