Our Story
A Broken World
Hopelessness. Despair. Loss.
We, Gen-Z, have grown up bombarded with a polarized news cycle and social media systems designed to tear us apart.
But rather than give in to pessimism, we have chosen to rise up. We have proven time and time again that we are more than just the generation of the hopeless, but of students, of game-changers, of activists.

Overcoming Barriers to Change
But fighting for social change isn't easy. In our interviews with fellow Gen Z students...
96%
said they want to take more action but feel too lost and overwhelmed on where to get started
80%
said they've been working on activism, but feel isolated, defeated, or just not impactful enough in their effort
100%
said they're worried about echo chambers, and false information or bias in media
Who we are
That's why Electric Potential was born. Our team is Gen Z-led and Gen Z-centered, and we believe in our generation's untapped electric potential.
By building sustainable awareness on social issues through breaking echo chambers, catalyzing informed and lasting actions, and producing a generation of future change makers, we will create a ripple effect of social impact.
