Generation WE partners with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools to bring our workshops directly to students on campus throughout the school year. To date, WE have worked with 12 schools and over 1500 students. Each workshop focuses on the power of storytelling and celebrating and listening to our unique stories, ultimately creating stronger connections and empathy for others. We bring a large selection of our books for the children to browse and to take home.
Generation WE is proud to announce our partnership with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library! Generation WE hosts monthly inclusive story times at various branches throughout Charlotte.

Each child goes home with a copy of the book that was read.

We achieve this through three main components: camp, enrichment and mentoring.
