How do you mobilize and empower a generation?
“Today, Boston is home to the largest proportion of young adults of any major US city.” – Catherine Cloutier, The Boston Globe
Young adults comprise about 45 percent of eligible voters and nearly half the Boston’s workforce. They are an economic engine, adding $1 billion annually in goods and services to the city. However, young adults – people between ages of 21 and 39 years old – are often ignored and overlooked when discussing the future of Greater Boston. During HUBweek 2016, City Awake will select up 500 Delegates – nominated representatives from a diverse coalition of up to 200 organizations – to participate in Our Convention. Featuring a series of programs focused on building community and exploring various issues facing Greater Boston, Our Convention Delegates will work together to formalize shared priorities as a generation.
Who it’s for: 500 young thought leaders who want to make an impact
Vibe: meaningful, hands-on, informative
