Creative Generation

In April 2019, Jeff founded CREATIVE GENERATION, an organization that works to inspire, connect, and amplify the work of young creatives who catalyze social change and those committed to cultivating their creativity.

The Creative Generation, or Gen C, builds from a term utilized in consumer marketing, which is used to describe an intergenerational group of people who care deeply about creation, culture, connection, and community. Gen C is uniquely position to utilize these creative capacities to solve society’s greatest challenges.

One of the key initiatives of CREATIVE GENERATION is the Campaign for a Creative Generation, The Campaign for a Creative Generation is dedicated to inspiring, connecting, and amplifying the work of young creatives and those dedicated to their creative development.
