Why Community Outreach: Building Leaders Through Compassion and Connection

Growing up, I spent six amazing years in Egypt, and those experiences truly shaped who I am today. I saw firsthand how kids could be happy and resilient, even with fewer material things than we have in the United States. I remember walking to school and passing moms with their kids, asking for food and money. It was a real eye-opener.

My family and I traveled all over Africa, from the Pyramids of Egypt to the Maasai tribes in Kenya, and explored the beautiful Red Sea. These experiences taught me so much about different cultures and the bigger world out there. It made me realize how important it is to understand and appreciate these differences.

These moments inspired me to start NextGen226. I wanted to create something that supports homeschool families and also teaches kids values like empathy, respect, and global awareness. NextGen226 is all about helping kids become the best they can be by exposing them to a wider world and its challenges.

One of the ways we’re doing this is through our community outreach program. We’re partnering with schools in Costa Rica and hope to expand our efforts both globally and locally. Our goal is to support these schools by the summer of 2025, and eventually, we want to build relationships between our students and kids from different cultures.

By enrolling your kids in NextGen226, you’re helping us make this dream come true. A portion of our monthly tuition and single-day class fees goes directly to our outreach efforts. This isn’t just about charity; it’s about creating a community of young leaders who understand the importance of compassion and connection.

Our journey with NextGen226 is just getting started, but I’m really excited about what we can achieve together. Thanks for being a part of this mission and for helping us inspire tomorrow’s leaders through your support and participation.
