Next One Up provides innovative year-round and multi-year services in an effort to empower the next generation of Baltimore leaders.
CEO Shel Simon and student participant Akil Smith join Gabe Ortis to discuss how Next One Up promotes learning, creates community connections, and builds leadership skills in youth.
“Next One Up's adaptive, multi-year programming blends a focus on academics and leadership to infuse out-of-school time with purpose and help young men create a dynamic and concrete vision for their future. The ultimate goal of NOU’s program as a whole, is to arm students with the skills to be successful, self-reliant and socially conscious.” - Facebook.com/NextOneUpOrg
