With your support, NGS will continue breaking barriers, developing leaders, and ensuring educational opportunities for all.

From First Grade to First Career: Change What’s Possible

Our Story In Marin County, opportunity isn’t equally distributed. For first-generation, under-resourced students, the path to college and a stable career is filled with barriers most families never have to think about. Next Generation Scholars exists to remove those barriers.

For over 20 years, NGS has supported students from elementary school through college and into their first careers, providing not just academic support but the full ecosystem students and families need to succeed.

Because when one student succeeds, an entire family and future generations move forward.

Why Your Support Matters

NGS is not a short-term program. It’s a 12+ year commitment to each scholar and their family. Through a holistic model that combines:

Academic support and mentorship 🤝
Leadership development rooted in community impact 🌱
College and career guidance 💼
Family services, including housing, food security, healthcare access, and employment support ❤️

NGS ensures students don’t just get into college, they graduate and thrive beyond it.
