About Us
Time For Change
Some of us are blessed to grow up with our biological parents. However, that reality is not made for everyone. Next Gen is focused on providing opportunities for the children that pass through its doors. Adoption is a perfect opportunity for a child to connect and bond with people that will provide for and love them. With this program, we work with parents to guide them through a successful adoption process. In addition, we work with the child or children to prepare them for a successful transition into their forever homes.
I was one of 23,000 foster children that aged out of the system in 2017. With some help my life changed.
