NextGen Leaders’ programs are rigorous and affirming of our fellows’ identities. Our programs are free to our fellows but require an investment of time and energy that could be described as “significant but reasonable.”  At NextGen Leaders, diversity is a driving motivation.  Our goal is to admit cohorts whose members are diverse, aspirational and mutually supportive. Promise and potential as a leader are just as important as early career accomplishments.

The Leadership Lab for Young Professionals is designed specifically for people between 21 and 30 years of age who are ready to advance into early management roles or who have already been tapped to take on more responsibility and wish to either gain new skills or brush up on others that have become rusty.  The Young Professionals Lab also typically attracts aspiring or early-career public servants, entrepreneurs who are planning or have recently launched a new business and young people who may be rethinking their first career choice.
