Next Gen Students, Teachers, and Families

Next Gen partners with under-resourced high schools to create student cohorts, led by teachers and mentored by college students, to connect student interests to the world, visit local colleges and companies, and execute a plan for success after high school — College and Career. Our program targets “quiet middle” students who are often passed over for enrichment opportunities, not involved in extracurricular activities, or students in need of tier-one supports as identified by key school leaders and 9th-grade teachers.

Thank you

The Atlanta Education Stakeholder Summit provides a standing venue for Metro Atlanta corporate and community members to network with local education stakeholders to learn, share, and get involved. The end goal being to connect Atlantans with opportunities to support organizations leading the charge in the education and youth development space — for short and potential long-term engagement.
