Partnerships

Our partners represent formal, strategic relationships that advance youth prevention efforts through shared investment, aligned priorities, and sustained collaboration.

Generation Lead is proud to partner with the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) and the Illinois Elementary School Association (IESA).

Through this partnership, Generation Lead provided IHSA & IESA member schools and communities with access to free campaign materials including posters, talking kits, postcards, bookmarks, stickers, and more – all available in English, Spanish and Polish. Additionally, Generation Lead was present at state sports competitions to share messaging with athletes and their guardians through tabling, audio ads, and commercials broadcasted on area video boards.

This partnership underscores the shared commitment of organizations to foster safe, supportive, and healthy environments for young people across Illinois.

What Our Partners Are Saying 

“By connecting with Generation Lead, we are reinforcing the importance of healthy choices and giving our schools tools that directly support the well-being of their students.”

IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson and IESA Executive Director Nicole Schaefbauer
