Open the Door of Opportunities
NextUp provides opportunities for middle school youth to continue their learning beyond the school day. NextUp works with Richmond’s best program providers to support Richmond Public School students by enlightening their minds, exploring their imaginations, and opening the door to endless possibilities. Your support means so much to the students we serve. Let’s work together to show our students all that the world has to offer.
Why Give to NextUp?
Imagine being a middle school student knowing that when the last bell of the school day rings you will get to embark on opportunities that will allow you to think, dream, and create anything your heart desires. That is NextUp, and with your support we can continue to expand the minds of our future leaders.

[NextUp RVA] keeps her occupied with positive role models. She is actively learning new things with activities that are age appropriate. And, they are keeping her engaged! She is always eager to show me something new she has learned.

The acting exercises really helped me! I was scared to speak at first and I would have stage fright, but I learned how to overcome it. [Ms. Charmaine Crowell-White] helped us express ourselves and her class was really fun.

NextUp is a wonderful program. I had the opportunity to meet a lot of his instructors and you could tell that they all loved their jobs. They were really passionate about helping the students.

We are blown away at the robust platform that NextUp has created in a very short time. Students look forward to the enrichment activities that our TechConnect program offers, and with NextUp’s new online learning platform we are able to continue engaging and teaching them even if we can’t interact in person.

They helped me with my homework after school and my grades went way up. I started getting A’s, B’s and C’s, instead of C’s and D’s. And, it helped me with my attitude,I’m a lot friendlier now!
