Taking our Youth to the NEXT LEVEL

At Next Level Living, Inc., we’re committed to helping young people find their path to success and become stronger, more hopeful members of their communities. We believe that nourishing hungry children and investing in their growth—both academically and emotionally—are crucial to breaking cycles of disadvantage.

Our programs meet immediate needs by ensuring no child goes hungry, while also feeding minds through evidence-based curricula, mentorship, and college sponsorships. By providing inspirational talks, empowerment seminars, and educational resources, we help students cultivate confidence, strengthen their character, and build a moral compass that guides them toward a bright future.

We were founded on the conviction that every child, regardless of circumstance, deserves the chance to reach the “Next Level” in life.  

FIGHTING HUNGER

Since 2018, Next Level Living’s Feed My Sheep Campaign has been a lifeline for families in Cape Town, providing warm meals and food packets to those in need. Today, we are honored to feed over 1,000 children every week across seven communities, bringing both nourishment and hope. Click below for more info.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

Through our Next Level Students Program, we empower young people to rise academically by increasing graduation rates, reducing dropouts, and addressing issues like bullying, drugs, and school violence. With Jeremy Anderson’s powerful story and proven frameworks like PBIS, students are inspired to value education, build positive habits, and believe in their future. Click below for more info.

COLLEGE SPONSORSHIPS

Since 2020, Next Level Living, Inc. has proudly sponsored 60 South African Students to attend college at the College of Cape Town. We’ve been able to support these students by breaking down financial barriers and giving them the chance to pursue higher education. These students are rewriting the story of their lives, families, and communities—proving that education is the most powerful weapon against poverty. Click below for more info.
