The ZiNE
The ZiNE is a time capsule of the current moment, a visual and written interpretation of the social, political, and cultural landscapes of the 21st century.
Driving Change: Shaping Tomorrow, Today
GEN-ZiNE’s mission is not only to educate, but to inspire action. That is why we partnered with Driving Change, a publication dedicated to inspiring the recommitment to public service that the world needs now, especially from our hyperconnected, digital savvy generation.

Beyond The Flags: Come As You Are
in partnership with Converse
In honor of National Coming Out Day, we’ve partnered with Converse to amplify the experiences of the LGBTQIA community. Our contributors' stories force us to reevaluate what ‘coming out’ means, and to learn about self-possession, self-love, and identity from their perspectives.
The Yearbook:
Class of GEN-ZiNE
This special edition ZiNE takes a look at where we’ve been and where we’re going. Join us as we celebrate our community members who disrupt norms and rewrite the future in their respective industries.
The Election Guidebook: Divided States of America
Many Gen Zers voted for their first time in the 2020 general election. The Guidebook is a starting point to approaching the election and the American political system at large. Civic engagement doesn’t end with a vote; it flourishes as we educate each other, amplify one another’s voices, and continue organizing and mobilizing. This is #OurFirstVote.
Sustainability:
No Planet B
Climate change is the biggest issue that Generation Z faces head-on. It is crucial to explore the roots and truths of climate change, humanize climate change as a social issue, and understand the impacts of our everyday actions and inactions.
Health and Wellness: In Full Bloom
Health is the relationship between you, your body, and your mind. It is the longest, most intimate relationship you’ll have throughout your life. It is the vehicle that carries us through our successes and our failures, and it allows us to experience fleeting moments of love, heartbreak, and happiness
Multiculturalism: Stirring the Melting Pot
Accepting one another for our differences begins with sharing our cultures. Trust and understanding creates communities where members are mutually empowered.
Gendered Violence: Disciplining the Body
Ownership of the body manifests itself in politics and policy, societal norms, and interpersonal relationships. It appears in more ways than meets the eye.
