The Genesis Generation Challenge welcomes multi-disciplinary teams of young adults to propose big ideas to better the world. Each team must consist of approximately 10 individuals and must designate a team leader (age 20-36). Other team members must be 18 years or older.
Teams may represent non-profit or for profit entities. Because the idea must offer a sustainable and scalable solution to an important problem, we are seeking social entrepreneurs and others with experience delivering projects with lasting and innovative change in their communities and the world.
Why Participate?
Are you passionate about solving a communal or global problem? Have you wondered how you could make your dream job a reality and do what you love? The Genesis Generation Challenge will turn passion into reality for ten winning teams, through grants of $100,000 (USD) each, connections to mentors, and opportunities to convene and learn from one another. Benefits exist even for those teams that do not win; they will become part of an active network of forward thinking and connected individuals from whom they can receive feedback and grow their ideas.
Application Requirements
Teams are invited to participate. Teams may represent a collection of individuals or an organization (i.e., a company or not-for-profit organization). Individuals can register, but they must work with others to form a team before competing.
Each team must designate a team leader, an adult between the ages of 20-36. All other team members must be 18 or older. Beneficiaries of your proposed project may be of any age.

Teams must propose a specific project that seeks to solve a problem, which – if solved – would benefit a target community or the world at large.
Teams are encouraged to emphasize how their proposed project will be sustainable and scalable over time.
Teams must emphasize how the proposed project is guided by Jewish values.
Teams must showcase how their proposed project will seek to engage Jewish young adults, while realizing any other specific and measurable goals.
