Leaders from CWA’s Districts and several Sectors have chosen young members with passion and commitment to become Lead Activists in the Next Generation Program. These men and women all have the knowledge, energy, and organizing skills necessary to grow Next Gen at the local level, starting from the grassroots.
What We Do
CWA’s Next Generation Lead Activists inspire young workers to turn their passion and ideas into action at the local, district, and national levels. Working hand-in-hand with Local leaders and CWA staff, our Leads support vital campaigns and recruit and mobilize new members. They develop strategies to make sure young voices are heard at all levels of our union. These proven leaders are growing and strengthening our union by building relationships among younger and more seasoned workers within CWA and with our progressive allies outside the labor movement.
