    SPOTLIGHT

    Name: Jordan Brown
    Career Path: Cosmetology
     
    "Next Up has helped me a lot, not only with the counselors but also by being there, being understanding, and also with the services they offer.
     
    They help with food if you need it, with transportation if you need it.... It was very helpful coming out of the foster program and still have the resources to help, specially in school. It has been pretty great! I wouldn't be able to finish my program without Next Up."
