Next Level Program
Produced by the
HRC Foundation
Next Level is a learning program focused on wellness, career pathways and financial health created by the HRC Foundation and delivered to LGBTQ+ folks, often in partnership with local community-based organizations (CBOs).
The Next Level program provides skills-based education and resources to LGBTQ+ young adults focused on navigating biased employment and financial systems and gaining increased economic stability. The program centers the experiences and needs of LGBTQ+ adults aged 18-30 years old, with a specific focus on Black and Brown and trans and non-binary job seekers. The program is open to all LGBTQ+ community members and has proven useful for folks up to age 50.
The program includes the following three pillars of content, all delivered through a self-empowerment and critical consciousness lens:
| CAREER PATHWAYS | FINANCIAL HEALTH | WELLNESS |
|---|---|---|
| Job searching | Spending | Physical |
| Applying | Saving | Mental/Emotional |
| Interviewing | Borrowing | Spiritual |
| Succeeding on the job | Planning | Communal |

Course instruction is delivered asynchronously via the HRC Foundation’s learning management system, HRC LEARN.
