Next Generation Nonprofit Leaders Program (NextGen)
The AH Next Generation Nonprofit Leaders Program (NextGen) is a competitive internship scholarship/stipend program for American Humanics students. NextGen is designed to help a racially and ethnically diverse group of students with demonstrated leadership potential complete their AH certification requirements, specifically the minimum 300-hour nonprofit internship. 
NextGen Leaders receive a scholarship of $4,500 from AH during their internship, along with access to and support from a network of nonprofit leaders who will serve as mentors.
Several students in the WKU American Humanics program have been selected for this prestigious award:
  • Dana Adams
  • Jessica Tinnell
  • Sara Smith
  • Evelyn Oregon
  • Sara Miller
  • Annie Farris
  • Jenna Doughman

Between spring 2007 and 2012, American Humanics plans to select 1,000 NextGen Leaders who will successfully complete their AH certification requirements and graduate to professional positions in the nonprofit sector.  Nonprofit organizations that host a NextGen Leader will gain access to, and benefit from, the services of talented and committed American Humanics students preparing to enter the workforce as nonprofit professionals. A goal of NextGen is to illustrate the positive effect of competitive internship stipends and scholarships on the recruitment and retention of skilled and diverse next generation nonprofit leaders. Benefits of the NextGen Program include:

  • A financial scholarship/stipend of $4,500 to assist each NextGen Leader in completing the minimum 300-hour internship required for AH certification (in addition to any compensation or benefits offered by the internship site)
  • Access to mentoring and support from a network of nonprofit leaders
  • Identification and special recognition as a NextGen Leader
    NextGen Leaders who complete a 450, 900, or 1700-hour internship in volunteer management and/or at-risk youth may also be eligible to become an AH AmeriCorps*ProCorps member and earn an AmeriCorps Education Award of up to $4,725
