Program Details What can genealogical societies, libraries, and individuals do to engage the next generation in family history? As we look to preserve our past and continue the work of genealogy, we need more engagement from younger people. This presentation will explore what motivates children, teenagers, and young adults, barriers to involvement or interest, and strategies for engagement. It will provide activity ideas along with advice on how to design programs and outreach in ways that resonate with audiences of multiple ages.
