Join the NextUp Network

NextUp uses a collective approach to increase the scale, quality, and impact of out-of-school time programs throughout the city. Direct service providers in the NextUp Network offer youth hands-on learning and enrichment opportunities that motivate and inspire them to success. Network providers have access to free professional development opportunities and quarterly networking events.  

Providers are invited to submit program applications twice per year through the Out-of-School Request for Proposals (RFP) process.
