Generation Progress is a youth-centered research and advocacy group that promotes progressive political and social policy through support for young people, students, and young activists in the United States.[1][dead link] Generation Progress is the youth engagement arm of the Center for American Progress.

Launched in 2005 as Campus Progress, in 2013 the organization was renamed Generation Progress to reflect the group's work to reach beyond college campuses and involve older, working-class, and non-college-bound young people, in progressive activism.[2] Their main issue areas cover gun violence prevention, criminal justice reform, progressive economics, student debt, immigration, and climate change.

Generation Progress has a sister organization, Generation Progress Action, that engages in political and electoral advocacy activities in elections.[3][dead link]
