Youth Program
Empowering Youth to Step Boldly Into Their Future
NEXTF is the youth initiative of IADM, created to empower young adults ages 16–24 as they navigate the critical transition into adulthood. We believe every young person deserves the guidance, resources, and community support needed to build a life filled with purpose and stability.
Whether you are:
-
Transitioning from foster care and seeking independence,
-
Separating from the military and adjusting to civilian life,
-
Graduating or leaving college and unsure of your next step,
-
Reentering society after involvement in the juvenile justice system,
-
simply a young adult looking for direction and mentorship,
NEXTF is here to walk with you.
What We Offer
-
Mentorship & Life Coaching
One-on-one and group mentorship that helps you set achievable goals and build confidence in your path forward. -
Life Skills Workshops
From financial literacy and budgeting to career readiness, resume building, and interview preparation, we equip you with practical tools to navigate adulthood. -
Career & Education Support
Assistance with job searches, vocational training, Job Corps, college applications, and scholarship opportunities to help you pursue your dreams. -
Community & Connection
A safe, uplifting environment where you can connect with peers and leaders who care about your growth and success. -
Wellness & Self-Care Resources
Access to resources that support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being during this season of transition.
Why NEXTF?
We understand that stepping into adulthood can feel overwhelming, especially when you are navigating it without consistent guidance. At NEXTF, we believe your past does not limit your future, and we are committed to helping you discover your potential while providing the support you need to thrive.
Your future matters, and we are here to help you expand it—one step, one goal, and one success at a time.
