Mentoring

In September 2013, Next Level Youth will launch an all-new redesigned mentoring program for children in grades 1-12. Each program or workshop will be age appropriate and will include topics such as: preparing for college and the workforce, successful money management, preparing for employment and internships, safe social media, anti-bullying and cyber bullying, self esteem and growing up in today’s world.  We will also offer first aid and other training workshops and community programs.

The ultimate goal of the program is to provide a forum for open communication and guidance. We stress accountability, good citizenship, and self empowerment. We encourage local role models to participate in the various workshops to provide the group different perspectives.

Over the summer we will offer selected workshops in preparation for the big fall kickoff.  Details for the summer workshops will be available soon! If you are interested in volunteering with the Next Level Youth Mentoring Program please email Danielle Graves, Director of Mentoring Services at dgraves@nextlevelyouth.us

Pageant

Please join us Friday May 24, 2013 at 7:00pm in the Hightstown High School Auditorium for the 3rd Annual Miss Next Level Youth Pageant!

Many young girls can only dream of being in a pageant, let alone being crowned a beauty queen.  The Miss Next Level Youth Pageant was developed and designed to give young ladies the experience of pageantry who otherwise would not be able to afford the excessive costs of competing.  The Miss Next Level Youth Pageant is sponsored primarily by donations.

Upon winning, the newly crowned queens spend a year filled with wonderful experiences that include appearances and philanthropy.

Sponsorship, advertising and exhibiting opportunities are still available.  Please email Evelyn McCleod at emccleod@nextlevelyouth.us for details.
