  • Gen Z Takes Over City Podcast
    Aug 29 2024

    In this special episode of the Tosa's Voices, we handed the mic over to two of our high school interns from Gen Z. They took the lead, interviewing peers about the age of candidates running for federal office and what it means for the future. They also explored how young people can get more involved in local government and make their voices heard.

    Please note that the views and opinions expressed in this episode are those of the interns and their guests and do not reflect the official position of the City of Wauwatosa. Tune in to hear what the next generation has to say.
