“Since graduating from the Generation Distinct Cohort, I have had the privilege of reaching and impacting over 15,000 young people across Latin America.”
Our goal is to launch 10 NEW Cohorts in 2025.
This ambitious expansion will allow 150 new young leaders to begin their transformative journey with Generation Distinct, empowering them to discover and pursue their god-given purpose.

This means that for every young leader who participates, we are left with a $600 gap to cover the true cost.
That’s where you come in.
By sponsoring a cohort, you can partner with us to ensure we can continue offering this experience to young leaders at an affordable rate.
Your generosity will directly support these young leaders as they learn to become innovative missionaries, taking the Gospel into every sphere of society. Together, we can continue to raise up a generation of leaders who will make a tangible difference in the world.
Your sponsorship is more than financial support—it’s an opportunity to personally invest in the next generation of leaders and changemakers.
As a Cohort Sponsor, you’re invited to play a meaningful role in the journey of the young leaders you support.
Here’s how you can engage:
1. Join the Cohort Launch Call
Kick off the experience by joining the Cohort’s first Zoom call, where you’ll have the opportunity to share a word of encouragement and inspiration with the members you’ve sponsored.
2. Stay Updated on Their Progress
Receive regular updates on the growth, accomplishments, and milestones of the young adults in your Cohort.
3. Read Their Purpose Statements
Gain insight into the powerful, purpose-driven missions each young adult is discovering through the Cohort experience.
4. Send Personalized Notes of Encouragement
Write notes to inspire and support the young adults as they pursue their unique calling.
5. Meet Them in Chicago
You’re invited to attend our annual conference in Chicago, where you can meet the members of your sponsored Cohort face-to-face, celebrate their progress, and share in their journey toward purpose.
Our Cohorts, valued at $800 per participant, offer an immersive, transformative experience.
However, to make this life-changing opportunity accessible, we only charge young leaders $200 total for the full program.
We believe the best way to invest in the spiritual, mental and emotional health of a young adult...is to help them discover and live out their God-given purpose.
That is why, we exist to help young adults to disover the wrong they were born to make right with a strategy to set it in motion.
This is ultimately in support of our legacy vision, “To see a generation radically committed to christ and his mission.”
Generation Distinct began with a dream: to see every young adult discover their God-given purpose.
Our founder, Hannah Gronowski Barnett, recognized that while many young adults were full of big dreams, ideas, and aspirations for making a positive impact—even a Kingdom impact—very few were translating those dreams into action. There was a clear gap between passion and execution. Hannah began asking, "What is missing?"
With a team of leaders around her, she discovered the answer: strategy. The gap between passion and action is bridged by a clear plan to move forward.
This revelation sparked a deep passion in Hannah to ensure that every young adult with a desire to make an impact would have the strategy, resources, and mentorship needed to take real steps toward change. Together, they built a process to guide young adults in discovering their purpose, creating a plan to live it out, and finding the support they need along the way. From there, we connect their purpose to the greatest cause of all time: the mission of Jesus in the world.
In 2017, Generation Distinct became a non-profit, and a small team began developing a strategy to help young adults discover the wrong they were born to make right, along with a plan to set it in motion. After years of collaboration with senior leaders from around the world, conducting beta tests, and building the infrastructure behind the scenes, we officially launched our Cohorts to the public in the Fall of 2020.
Today, nearly 250 young adults from around the world have discovered the wrong they were born to make right and are equipped with a strategy to set it in motion through our Path of Purpose.
Not only that, but we also offer the support of a global community and leadership training to help young leaders sustain their purpose. Our vision is to reach thousands of young adults worldwide and equip them to create lasting change.
Through our comprehensive strategy, we are building a generation of young adults who know their purpose and live it out for the advancement of the Gospel.
