Investing in the future

We believe the future holds great promise for the next generation. We see a generation ready to make enormous contributions to the world, and to their communities, if given the chance.

  This is a generation ready to walk through the door — and the members of our Initiative are ready to open it.

A future worth investing in
The Next Generation Initiative is a 501(c)3 non-profit educational foundation, founded in 2002 by an independent, collaborative network of global Greeks whose mission is to:

› engage the young men and women of the next generation;

› embrace their efforts to reinvent and embody for themselves the core values our heritage represents — a respect for education, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a striving for excellence;

› connect them with others who share those values;

› strengthen their ability to renew these values as vital resources for the future of their communities; and,

› empower them with the skills and experience necessary for effective and affirmative leadership.
