próxima generación
Generation Next es un programa de preparación, acceso y finalización de la universidad creado para corregir las disparidades en la educación. El programa trabaja con los estudiantes para lograr la admisión a la universidad, integrarse a la vida universitaria y completar un programa postsecundario.
Are you interested in mentoring?
We are seeking dedicated mentors to guide and inspire Generation Next high school students as they navigate their personal pathways and college journeys. As a mentor, you would meet with your mentee 1-2 times a year, or more if you choose, to provide guidance, support, and encouragement as they manage life’s challenges. You’ll need to complete required clearances and participate in training on mandated reporting and implicit bias to ensure a positive and meaningful mentorship experience.
You can mentor as few as one student or take on multiple, depending on your availability. Ideally, mentors will begin working with a high school senior and continue supporting them through their college journey, from their senior year of high school to their senior year of college. Make a lasting impact on a student’s life—sign up today using the link below!
We're looking for job shadow hosts!
We are seeking companies and individuals interested in hosting our Generation Next students for their first-ever job shadow experience! Date TBD, early 2025 (between 8 AM to 2 PM), Generation Next students will have the chance to explore a day in the life of a career that aligns with their interests. Students will complete a questionnaire and reflection paper as part of the experience and will be responsible for providing their own transportation and lunch. Career interests include fields such as medical, marketing, cybersecurity, project management, finance, engineering, psychology, and more.
Help us ensure every Generation Next student has this valuable opportunity by signing up to host today! For more information or to get involved, please contact our Gen Next Coordinator, Amanda Starner, at astarner@caclv.org.
