Cameron Katz - Head of Content and Partnerships
How can museums serve young adults, who are the country’s future inheritors and who seek out credible information on history and civics? It turns out, serving Gen Z audiences is not just another “to do” – they can be your organization’s secret weapon to delivering relevant, timely content and programming. And there are resources to help!
Cameron Katz, from Made By Us, shares how the Youth 250 Bureau and Youth 250 Toolkit can help your organization understand the needs of Gen Z, build knowledge and skills to meet those needs, find resources, and how to work with young people directly to create lifelong relationships.
