IN OCTOBER 2008, WE LAUNCHED GENNEXT WITH A MISSION TO MOTIVATE THE NEXT GENERATION OF CENTRAL OHIO PROFESSIONALS.

In our first 365, GenNext completed nine service projects, provided free tax preparation for low-income families; collected and wrapped toys for at-risk children during the holidays; removed graffiti in Franklinton; planted an urban garden that should provide 40,000 pounds of fresh vegetables for Faith Mission’s community kitchen, helped clean up downtown neighborhoods, assisted in the renovation of the new Center for Art and Community on Bryden Road and collected over five thousand pounds of food for Mid-Ohio Food Bank. And we are over 500 strong.

GenNext is providing young professionals with the opportunity to develop leadership skills by participating in community volunteer projects, educational activities and networking events. Events that will help both the development of the community and the development of you. Simply, we are young professionals focused on improving our community through volunteering! We are GenNext.
