Commun i t y Pa r t ne r s h i p s Vision Board Event

In March, NextGen hosted a Vision Board Event at Windsor Recreation Center in partnership with GHA and Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department. The goal was to reach young adults who live in GHA communities. Participants created a vision board, completed career assessments, networked, and visited the Mobile Career Center. NextGen provided food and gift cards as incentives. 500 Jobs GSO NextGen worked with the Greensboro Police Department and Guilford County Schools to support “500 Jobs GSO,” an initiative to provide employment for people ages 14-21. This initiative connected more than 50 employers with 300-plus young people for summer or long-term employment. Employers included Food Lion, YMCA Greensboro, Amazon, Furnitureland South, Ralph Lauren, and P&G.
