Today’s workplaces often have as many as five different generations represented in their teams. That generational diversity should be a major advantage but without intentional effort to build bridges between them, teams rarely achieve their best potential. Each generation differs in their defining values, work styles, communication skills, and priorities. Without intentional efforts to bridge those differences, organizations are missing opportunities to increase engagement, satisfaction, productivity, and program outcomes.

Youth work cannot be separated from the youth workers themselves. Each individual you work with adds unique value to your program and your organization. Investing time to learn about your generational differences benefits everyone. Learning to recognize, honor, and appreciate those differences will make you a better youth worker.
