BE THE FUTURE GapKids is a new campaign from Gap that takes the form of a "collective call-to-action for youth, led by youth." The campaign is all about giving young American activists a platform to share their voices and their vision for creating change for a more sustainable and inclusive future.
Fittingly, the BE THE FUTURE GapKids campaign launched on International Youth Day and it is introducing a diverse group of young leaders who are passionate about sustainability, climate justice and activism. Jerome Foster II is an 18-year-old climate activist, educator, uniter and the founder of national youth voting organization OneMillionOfUs and Levi Draheim is a 13-year-old climate activist and the youngest plaintiff in a climate lawsuit.
The campaign features the youth activists in Gap's collection of sustainable fashion, including pieces from the new Teen Collection designed to help save water and reduce waste.
