Springtide Ambassadors Program (SAP)
Gen Z Panels
Client Testimonial
I was blown away by the Springtide Ambassadors’ insights and thoughtful commentary, as well as the engaging presentation from the Springtide Team.
Having Springtide join our event in person made tangible and digestible the research and data we've long used in our programs. We were especially grateful to have the opportunity to hear reflections from Springtide's Ambassadors, as well as our own youth stakeholders, on their personal perspectives and experiences.

Business & Organizational Leaders
Gen Z expects more from workplaces than any other generation. It is increasingly the site of meaning making in their lives. Employers, mentors, and guides must understand this trend and the values Gen Z cares most about in order to engage and support this emerging generation.
The single most important thing to understand about Gen Z is the ongoing decline of trust for institutions. This social trend has massive consequences for organizations of all kinds. Isolation and loneliness are at epidemic levels for our youngest generation and require business leaders to think about engagement through a lens of belonging to help Gen-Z flourish and thrive.
Faith Leaders
New research data shows how the religious landscape has shifted in America over the last 50 years, ushering in an era of massive mistrust and institutional disaffiliation across all sectors. The solution is to create cultures of belonging.
The future of the church lies with young people. This presentation relies on data from Springtide Research Institute’s annual State of Religion and Young People study to explain how we need to rethink everything when it comes to the ways we engage with the most diverse generation in history.
For many young people, there is no normal to return to after the pandemic. Their entire lives have changed. Our pandemic research focused on what young people are experiencing, how they view the future and, most importantly, what you can do to support them.
