"Being involved in the Generation Next Leadership Academy has helped me to envision how I might become a real agent for change in the nonprofit community. It has also allowed me to foster relationships with other emerging nonprofit leaders on a level that would never have
occurred had I not been involved in this program."
- Andrew Schwartzberg, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona, Gen Next Class I Graduate
