Next Up Foundation is a non-profit organization, based out of Orange County, CA, that will focus on being a mentor group for kids 5 to 18 years of age. Next Up Foundation will inspire and motivate your kids in their daily lives and help eliminate drugs use, street violence and addictions. Next Up Foundation aims to take a hands-on approach to teaching underprivileged children and adolescents how to overcome everyday obstacles through activities by which they can relate. Our program will demonstrate through sports and leisure activities that, like in life, if you set specific, attainable goals and approach them with optimistic determination you will not only achieve but exceed your own expectations. This will in no way challenge what is being taught in the school systems, but rather expand on it. This Program is already being used in Brazil by the Foundation for the Well Being of Minors, also known as Casa Foundation. It is already helping kids get a jump start on how to handle situations that could be overwhelming and destructive if one is not prepared.
