Session summary

As Gen Z LGBTQ+ individuals transition into adulthood, they face the challenges of entering the workforce, managing responsibilities, and shaping their futures all made more complex by a rise in hostile identity politics in an increasingly uncertain world. This session will offer a space to explore how young queer adults can thrive in the face of societal, economic, and political pressures. We’ll discuss the unique experiences of LGBTQ+ Gen Z, from workplace inclusion and financial independence to mental well-being and community support. Participants will also learn strategies for resilience, self-advocacy, and balancing personal and professional growth with activism. Participants will gain practical insight into the lives and experiences of Gen-z, how to better attract and retain young adults in the workplace.
