Vision
The Next Level University will provide quality and rigorous hands-on and interactive training in the areas of the Arts and Media for individuals ranging from school-aged children to young adults. Our goal is the advancement of those connected to our university with the use of annual conferences, teaching and mentoring opportunities. These key components will make a substantial impact during very critical times in the lives of our students. This facility will instill leadership qualities in our students and partners that will spur economic development in the community.
The Next Level University will offer various workshops to our school-aged students who, at the completion of their courses, will receive a certificate of completion. Our young adults that complete their studies will receive certification in their area of choice. This career readiness will, subsequently, create more skilled workers, more resourceful entrepreneurs, and more quality jobs in our community.
We will build healthy relationships with our partners that will transcend the space of our center and inundate our communities causing increased employment opportunities, specifically in the West Humboldt Park, South Shore, North Lawndale and Garfield Park Area.
