What GZLV Is
The Gen Z Coalition of Las Vegas (GZLV) is an independent, locally led coalition focused on civic engagement, serious discourse, and leadership development.

Highlights include:
Moderated candidate debates hosted at University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Multi-platform livestreams reaching audiences beyond the room
