generation next
Generation Next, a program of Community Action Lehigh Valley, is a college readiness, access, and completion program created to correct disparities in education. Our program works with students to achieve college admission, integrate into college life, and complete a post-secondary program or trade focus.
Generation Next students receive programming within their high school classrooms to develop the essential skills used to navigate high school and college while building a better understanding of themselves.
