“We are honored to receive this recognition from the House of Delegates and thankful to Delegate Greenhalgh for spearheading this effort. We are honored to accept it on behalf of the more than 29,000 teens that have come through our program.” said Joel Grewe, Director of Generation Joshua. “Generation Joshua is built on the idea that, for the American experiment to thrive, everyday people need to be informed about and engaged in the civic process. This recognition is not about me or my staff—it’s about the young men and women we are privileged to serve. They’re changing the world today and that’s something worth celebrating.”

After the session, Generation Joshua Deputy Director Jeremiah Lorrig said, “This moment is poignant because so many GenJ students admire Delegate Greenhalgh. She powerfully embodies the mindset future leaders need. Our students are discovering the privilege and responsibility of citizenship. And leaders like Delegate Greenhalgh remind them of the impact one citizen can have when they engage our system with consistency, humility, and the heart to serve.”
