Our background
Inspire NextGen was started in 2020 by a high school student who was focusing on providing help to refugee students who have fewer educational opportunities. From the start of this organization to now, the numbers of Inspire NextGen volunteers involved has increased by over 3 times the amount and Inspire NextGen now tutors / mentors refugee students from multiple states across the nation.
Our Partnerships
Heart House
UNI-FYSS
Inspire NextGen has partnered with Heart House, a 501(c)(3) organization also centered around mentoring and tutoring refugee students. Inspire NextGen volunteers tutor and mentor students from Heart House from grades K-6 in the core school subjects.
The UNI-FYSS organization are a group of low-income and international students that attend the nation's top universities. Their mission is to help low-income and first generation high school students also attend the elite universities of the US. This partnership provides a link between refugee students from Inspire NextGen that can be helped through their high school career and to college.
Allen ISD schools
As Inspire NextGen is an organization started by an Allen High School student and 95% of its volunteers are AHS students, we have partnered with the Allen Independent School District to provide educational mentorship and tutoring to elementary, middle school, and high school students across the district. These immigrant / refugee students are taught by our trained volunteers and not only receive educational assistance, but also form close and strong connections with our volunteers.
