For our fraternity to grow, we need to both retain and engage long-time members while also attracting and inspiring new, younger members. Shriners has more than 1,500 members in elected positions, including about 400 new leaders under age 45. The NextGen initiative highlights our next generation of Shrine leaders. Through telling the stories of some of these impressive young men, we hope to inspire other younger members to pursue Shrine leadership opportunities as well. NextGen Shriners are featured on social media and on shrinersinternational.org . Scan the QR code to meet some of the men who have decided to make a difference in the world.

NextGen leaders are committed to growth and improvement of themselves and their communities and ultimately want to make the world a better place in which to live.
