The Global Empowerment Institute for Empowerment, Accomplishment, and Impact by Young People has officially closed.

Our founder and Executive Director, Marc Prensky, passed away in 2025. Marc dedicated his life to imagining new ways for young people to learn, create, accomplish, and make a positive impact on the world.

One of his most important visions was EMPOWERMENT HUBS—in-person and virtual places where young people work together on real-world projects of their own choice: realizing their dreams, solving problems they see, and helping people they care about. That was at the heart of this organization.

As we close the organization, we hope to carry a part of Marc’s vision forward. His two online books, Empowerment Today and Empowerment Hub in a Box, remain available online.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported Marc and this vision over the years.

Thank you for believing in young people, for being part of our journey, and for helping keep Marc’s vision alive.
