Teens

Tired of faking it? Ready to stop pretending you’re fine?

Trust us, we get it, life can be a lot. Maybe school isn’t working out, friendships feel fake, or your mental health is taking a hit. Maybe you feel like no one really gets what you’re going through, and it’s exhausting.

Welcome to Project NextGen: a place to connect, feel supported, and figure life out without all the pressure

We’re an awesome crew of youth workers, mentors, and mental health pros, and we’re ready to help, minus the judgement. Whether you’re looking for someone to talk to, to chill with new friends, learn something new or just want to figure things out at your own pace – we’re here for it.

Real mentors = real connection

We get it, you don’t need another adult telling you what to do. You don’t need another professional with an agenda. You just need someone who actually listens and cares. At Project NextGen, we’ll match you with a mentor who understands, someone you can trust, someone who has likely been on a journey themselves. They’ll have your back, no matter what you’re dealing with – no judgement or pressure. 

  • Trained, experienced mentors
  • Relatable role models
