Generations Ahead, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering teen moms and dads across Northwest Michigan, has announced the upcoming retirement of its founding Executive Director, Marjie Rich, and the launch of a search for a new Executive Director to lead the organization into its next chapter.

Since its founding, Generations Ahead has built a strong foundation of impact, community trust, and organizational stability under Rich’s visionary leadership.
