Our Mission
The United States will turn 250 in 2026, with Gen Z at the helm. But young adults are disengaged from our institutions and under-represented in our democracy. They are looking to understand "how we got here" as they shape our future.
Our network represents hundreds of history museums stepping up to serve as civic hubs for young adults. We pool our knowledge, stories and efforts to meet younger generations where they are with timely, relevant information from credible sources.
Made By Us brings history to younger generations in innovative and meaningful ways so they have more fuel to power the future.
