They don’t want to imitate the millennials and they don’t want to be identified with the millennials – as lazy slackers, entitled co-workers or narcissistic people.

Gen-Z, or the I-Gen say they are gritty, money savers, frugal and thrifty and ready to stand up for a cause. (Or make a website for a non-profit)

They are significantly more stressed about:

· mass shootings

· rising suicide rates

· climate change

· separation and deportation

· sexual harassment and assault

Practice #3:

Practice #4:
