Let’s honor caregiving, create opportunity, and promote equity.

Welcome to Care Generation

ABOUT

We’re Care Generation. Welcome! Our mission is to activate young people to achieve economic dignity by addressing the caregiving crisis.

Care Generation (CareGen) is working to advance legislation that supports intergenerational caregiving solutions, paid family leave, and the rights of caregiving youth. Our efforts focus on improving mental health for our country’s caregivers and relieving their associated economic burdens.

With funding from the National Academy of Medicine, we are working to implement a National Care Corps, the newest national service model that would support family caregivers and create a workforce pipeline to address the needs of our aging society.

OUR MOTTO

Engage

Meet family caregivers and advocates where they are at

Empower

Provide opportunities for individuals to amplify their voice for change

Employ

Improve the strength of our aging-sector workforce
