Alex Edgar
Losey Visiting Voice Fellow
SHRM Foundation
Alex Edgar grew up watching institutions make decisions about young people’s futures without young people's leadership at the table. Now, as a Gen Z social entrepreneur and philanthropic strategist, he reimagines how young people achieve economic mobility, develop their civic identity, and build lives of purpose in a rapidly changing world.
As Co-Founder of Youth250 at Made By Us, Alex helped position young people as central leaders in shaping the nation's 250th anniversary, engaging over 10 million people nationwide. Today, he advises foundations and social impact organizations on how to better invest in and partner with the next generation, with collaborators including Allen Family Philanthropies, SHRM Foundation, and New Profit.
Alex is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Young Futures Entrepreneur, and recipient of the John Lewis Youth Leadership Award from the National Association of Secretaries of State. He advises the American Bar Association, Mars, and the University of California National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement. He serves on the boards of Points of Light and CoGenerate and was the youngest-ever advisor in U.S. Department of Commerce history through his appointment to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2030 Advisory Committee.
