Hi all, 

I hope you’ve had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving break. There are so many things that I’m grateful for, such as the amazing NextGen Education community. Thanks so much for your support along the way! 

At NextGen Edu, we encourage students to take an active role in their own learning through projects, experiential and inquiry learning, and community-based service learning, etc.. In order to amplify youth voices, empower student growth, and encourage authentic and real world learning, we’ll launch an online magazine in 2023. We’ll have artists and published authors on our editorial board, and will encourage students (especially middle and high school students) to be actively involved in the design, publication and marketing of the magazine. Please contact us if your middle or high schooler is interested!
