ABSTRACT: Generation Zers are a cultural phenomenon. They are a diverse generation that is progressive and social-justice-minded. While they are engaged in social causes of their interest, they need to have an affinity for a respective political candidate. They need to know their vote has meaning. This article speaks to the stage of development Gen Zers exist in and how voting and volunteering capture the investment these youth are to society. It offers recommendations on how to engage these youth as vital members of society. Because of their diversity, the issues they are most inclined to embrace are those issues that are more progressive.
