Why it matters
- Because too many young people are falling behind in school, chronic absenteeism and low graduation rates demand a daily, consistent re-engagement hub that supports academics and accountability.
- Because the community needs wraparound support—not a “gym only” solution—NextGen is built as a coordinated network with schools, families, mentors, and mental-health professionals to keep youth supported on every front
- Because youth are navigating real exposure to community violence, they need a safe, structured sanctuary after school where discipline and guidance replace survival-mode decision-making.
- Because the city needs stronger bridges between youth and law enforcement—initiatives like “Cops & Gloves” create trust, communication, and shared responsibility for community safety.
- Because mental health needs are going untreated—NextGen brings trauma-informed support, counseling access/referrals, and emotional regulation tools into a space youth will actually show up to.
