Building the next generation of civic leaders in Nevada

The Gen Z Coalition of Las Vegas brings together students, candidates, and community leaders for real conversations, public forums, and meaningful civic engagement.

Live debates and candidate forums at UNLV and across Las Vegas

What GZLV Is

The Gen Z Coalition of Las Vegas (GZLV) is an independent, locally led coalition focused on civic engagement, serious discourse, and leadership development. We create spaces where young people can engage directly with the issues, candidates, and ideas shaping Nevada, without the noise, without the bias, and without the theatrics.

Real Conversations. Real Impact.

From virtual forums to live campus debates, GZLV has brought together students, candidates, and community voices for structured, respectful dialogue.

Highlights include:

  • Moderated candidate debates hosted at University of Nevada, Las Vegas

  • Multi-platform livestreams reaching audiences beyond the room

  • Engagement with candidates across local, state, and federal races
