What is The UnConvention? In many ways, it’s whatever you make it.

Hosted by 92Y, Public Radio International, and Mic, The UnConvention invites young people to join a global conversation about what is at stake in the U.S. election for the country’s largest living generation: millennials.

It’s a multi-faceted project taking place across broadcast and social media, via live events and community meet-ups, and driven by the voices and concerns most relevant for young people around the world today.

As part of the project, the organizers will be running a private Facebook group of influencers that will help to shape the content of the larger initiative.

This select group of 400 people from the U.S. and abroad, ages 18-34, will put the ideas, issues, and opinions of young adults front and center in the U.S. election. You’ll be part of a global conversation and help lead The UnConvention including 10 weeks of social posting, radio and web coverage, and live events organized by Public Radio International, Mic and 92Y in New York.

You’ll be the first to share quizzes and polls testing what people know and think about issues. You may even be featured in news coverage on the radio, on social media, or on stage.
