Generation Forward Utah is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preparing young people for success in a rapidly changing world.
Generation Forward was born from a simple observation: the world is changing faster than our education systems can keep up. AI is transforming every industry. Youth mental health is in crisis. And most parents feel unprepared to guide their children through it all.
Founded in Salt Lake City in 2026, we bring together technology education, mental health support, and family engagement under one roof. We believe these three areas aren't separate — they're deeply connected.
A young person who understands AI but struggles emotionally isn't fully prepared. A parent who cares deeply but doesn't understand the digital world can't fully support their child. We address the whole picture.
Every young person in Utah deserves these opportunities, regardless of zip code, income, or background.
We teach skills people can use immediately. No fluff, no filler.
Technical skills matter. So does emotional health, family support, and character.
Built by the community, shaped by the community, accountable to the community.
A small team with a big vision for Utah's youth.
