GEN G — $50/year

Because philotimo starts young and our future depends on it. Our Gen G program inspires teens (ages 12–18) to live the ideals of philotimo through two pillars: 

(1) Service: hands-on volunteer projects like preparing meals for the hungry, visiting shelters, and spreading kindness where it’s needed most and 

(2) Philanthropy: an innovative youth giving circle that empowers Gen G members to pool small donations and collectively decide which charities to support—learning how generosity creates real impact. 

Each year, Gen G members will review charity proposals and vote on where to award their own grants, giving them a voice in shaping the future they’ll inherit.
