Genesis and Genesis Inspiration Foundation strengthened their commitment to youth, supporting science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) programs in Southern Nevada. Genesis Inspiration Foundation donated $25,000 to Positively Arts, a nonprofit that uses the transformational power of the arts to empower youth with essential life skills. Genesis Gives, Genesis Motor America’s corporate social responsibility initiative, also organized a STEAM workshop at Donald W. Reynolds Boys & Girls Club of Southern Nevada for more than 40 middle school students.

“Every student deserves access to creative learning opportunities,” said Brandon Ramirez, director, corporate social responsibility, Genesis Motor America, and board member, Genesis Inspiration Foundation. “By investing in STEAM programming across Southern Nevada, we’re encouraging young people to embrace their imagination and discover what’s possible for their future.”

Genesis Inspiration Foundation awarded a $25,000 grant to Positively Arts. Since 2014, Positively Arts has served over 20,000 children through mentorship programs and provided more than $200,000 in scholarships to over 10,000 low-income and at-risk children in Southern Nevada. This donation will help Positively Arts expand its arts programming, providing more youth with the tools, positive outlets, and community support they need to excel in every aspect of their lives.

Genesis hosted its STEAM workshop in partnership with Child Creativity Lab at Donald W. Reynolds Boys & Girls Club of Southern Nevada. More than 40 middle school students learned about the automotive industry, gaining firsthand insight into the product development process and interacting with a Genesis GV60. Turning imagination into innovation, students then designed and developed their own future mobility vehicles with upcycled materials.

Freedom or safety for young drivers? UK can and must deliver both, says GEM 11/05/2026 SHARE: Images are for editorial use only. Experts gathering at Young Driver Focus in London on 13 May to press for action, not further delay Young drivers remain disproportionately at risk, with preventable deaths continuing on UK roads International evidence shows graduated driver licensing can cut crashes by up to 40% GEM Motoring Assist will return to the RAC Club, London, on 13 May as headline sponsor of Young Driver Focus 2026, renewing calls for decisive action to improve protection for newly-qualified drivers. Despite years of evidence and advocacy, the UK has yet to introduce a comprehensive system of graduated driver licensing (GDL) - a move GEM and other road safety groups say is costing young lives. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We are long past the point of asking whether we should act. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences of delay are measured in lives lost and families devastated.” GDL is a phased approach that allows new drivers to gain experience under lower-risk conditions before progressing to full driving privileges. Common measures include limits on late-night driving and restrictions on carrying same-age passengers during the months after passing the test. International research consistently shows crash reductions of between 20% and 40% where GDL systems are in place. In some regions of Canada, reductions in young driver deaths have exceeded 80%. In the UK, drivers aged 17 to 24 account for around 20% of road deaths, despite making up just 7% of licence holders. Inexperience, distraction and overconfidence remain key risk factors - precisely the issues GDL is designed to address. GEM stresses that a well-designed system supports rather than penalises young people, and a recent TRL review1 found no significant negative impact on access to education, employment or social activity. GEM supports a system that extends structured learning, reduces known high-risk conditions and allows young drivers to build skills progressively and safely. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We do many things well in the UK, particularly in driver training, but the current system offers too little structured support once someone passes the test. That’s where the real risk begins. “The choice is simple: continue with a system we know is failing too many young people, or take proven steps that will save lives. Doing nothing is not a neutral position - it is a decision with consequences… and Young Driver Focus offers a chance to translate the latest insight into real-world action.”
