COMING THIS FALL!

This traveling pop-up series brings together young people (21+) at craft breweries across NH to discuss the factors influencing their choice to stay in—or leave—the state (and their respective region).

Quality of Life Index

Every two years, we commission the state’s most comprehensive study of young people’s perspectives in the 603. The 2025 findings are in. Be there — and be a part of the conversation — as we unveil them live on November 6, 2025.

At this half-day summit, attendees hear from, and engage with, compelling young people who have made an impact in New Hampshire in the arts, social justice, business, politics, and more.
