Who We Are
At Next is Now we believe that young people are deeply attuned to the problems of this world and many of the young leaders in our community lack the right resources to drive the change they wish to create. Next is Now exists to close this gap, through a cultivation of servant leaders, to work to actively provide first hand experiences, mentors and tools to spark the fire for change.
Our Vision: A future where young people don’t wait to be handed opportunity — they create it.
What We Do
Our Programs: Next is Now currently operates two flagship programs, each designed to meet young leaders, where they are and develop them into who they are capable of becoming.
Travis Policy Scholars (TPS) Program
A six-week leadership and civic engagement academy for Minneapolis youth. Coming Spring 2027 — learn more.
Travis Leadership Summit (TLS) Program
The Travis Leadership Summit is a one-day event for high school team leaders, featuring honest conversations with pro athletes and mentors on leadership, NIL, and life beyond the game.
