WHY WE EXIST
Too many kids grow up without structure, mentorship, or someone who truly believes in them.
NextGen provides the environment, discipline, and support young people need to become stronger — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
OUR STORY
NextGen Leadership & Athletic Development Foundation was built on the belief that discipline, mentorship, and opportunity can change the entire direction of a young person’s life.
What began as one father training his own kids to be stronger, faster, and more confident has grown into a focused mission dedicated to uplifting the youth of Youngstown.
Founded by Andre Brooks — U.S. Marine veteran, coach, father, and community leader — NextGen blends athletic development with leadership values to shape young athletes who are not only strong on the field, but strong in character, discipline, and purpose.
NextGen exists because our youth deserve more than natural talent.
They deserve structure.
They deserve guidance.
They deserve opportunity.
They deserve a real shot.
And we are here to give it to them.
