Justin Rockefeller
Justin Rockefeller Co-Founder and National Program Director of GenerationEngage (www.GenerationEngage.org).

Born in West Virginia, Justin Rockefeller grew up mainly in Washington, D.C.  He received his B.A. from Princeton University, where he studied politics and art and was active in debate and race relations on campus. After graduating in 2002, he worked for three years in the Department of Government and Community Relations at The Museum of Modern Art, where he also ran construction tours. In November 2004, he co-founded GenerationEngage, a nonpartisan youth-civic-engagement initiative that connects young Americans (particularly those who fall outside the boundaries of university campuses) to one another, to political leaders, to other civic organizations, and to meaningful conversations about the future they will inherit.  In addition to tutoring weekly at The TEAK Fellowship, he serves on the boards of The Alliance for the Arts and the Rockefeller Family Fund, on the National Leadership Council of GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network), and on several advisory boards.  He and his wife, Indré, a ballet dancer, live in New York City.
