Adam Westbrook
Massachusetts

After college, Adam served in Americorps NCCC and AmeriCorps National Direct, where he worked on affordable housing, environmental, education, and disaster relief projects. In these experiences, he worked with communities like New Orleans, LA, Lexington, KY, Denver, CO, and many others. Learning how to work with people who he agreed and disagreed with pushed him to study intergroup conflict mediation, including studying and working in the Middle East, and has dedicated himself to educating and empowering young people to be civically-engaged leaders ever since.  

Adam is currently the Program Director at Generation Citizen (GC) where he and his team support nearly 300 Middle and High School teachers to implement GC’s project-based civics curriculum in 80 schools throughout New England. During his tenure, he has worked with state-wide coalitions, school partners, and governments to expand access to high quality civic education. 

Prior to GC, Adam was the Director of the Center for Community Engagement at Suffolk University in Boston, where he developed civic education programs that build up students' civic skills and understanding, partnering with over 60 nonprofit partnerships in the Boston area, nationally, and abroad.

Adam holds a B.A. in Sociology, and two graduate degrees in Religious Studies. He has taught courses on Social Change, Philosophy, and Religion at Johnson & Wales University and Suffolk University. He lives with his partner in Waltham, Massachusetts.
