new politics for a new generation
The majority of Generation Z express strong interest in civic participation and politics, yet historically, young people have low voter engagement. Generation Z is the most diverse generation in America, yet is not represented by current elected officials.
The GAP Project is a data-driven, grassroots consortium connecting Generation Z with political campaigns on the local, state, and national level. We have developed an intuitive quiz for students and campaigns that assess each personal values and political stances and creates a match based upon our algorithm.
The GAP Project places young people as volunteers on political campaigns of all kinds across the United States. The GAP Project mobilizes Generation Z to engage with the political system, take action to get their voices heard, and, most importantly, to vote. We are shaping a representative and equitable America, and providing Generation Z with a pipeline into politics.

With just one click GAPers can get in contact with the candidate’s campaign that they align most closely with. We work with GAPers and campaigns to find the right role for each GAPer.

We will be with you every step of the way. You support the candidates. We support you. GAPers will join a community of like minded young people and will form a lifelong network of friends and colleagues.
