Description

Our organization is comprised of three main components:

EDUCATION

The future of our youth is behind everything we do. We use historic places as a way of connecting students to their surrounding built environment. In visiting educational centers and organizing summer camps and weekend retreats, we work to build a sense of place and respect for cultural heritage among our youngest residents.

CITY ASSISTANCE

Municipalities can contract the Next to create sustainable, culturally-focused, civic sites in their communities. Our services include construction management for projects involving historic resources, assisting cities in gaining recognition as National Park Service Certified Local Governments, and community development planning. Our services cost less than the nationwide average, and are performed by qualified professionals.

COLLABORATION

We facilitate collaboration between organizations whose visions overlap. Events we host allow the public and staff / volunteers of these organizations to gain knowledge of the others’ community goals, fostering partnerships and further involvement.
