From the Classroom to a Career
Our mission is to educate northwest and north central Kansas students about local career opportunities by providing and supporting programs in career development, entrepreneurship, and internship. Through these efforts, we hope to foster a positive sense of community and encourage youth to remain or return home to prosper.

“If someone were to ask me if they should do a Nex-Gen internship, I would say, ‘Just go for it!’ It’s going to be one of the best summer experiences that you will ever have. You will meet so many new people and learn so many new lessons that will last a lifetime. You will not regret becoming a Nex-Gen intern. I’m very proud to be a part of my rural community and I’m even more proud to be a part of the Nex-Generation that will help make my community better in the future.”
- Jaelyn Rumback, Nex-Generation Youth Services Intern, Lenora, KS
"The Young AmeriTowne® curriculum is a great cross-curricular program. It does so much more than cover government and economics. It helps students develop good communication and leadership skills, and is a great way to meet the push toward including financial literacy in your school's curriculum. Hands down, it will be every student's favorite field trip - ever!"
- Kathy Hofstetter, Retired 5th & 6th Grade Social Studies & Science Teacher from Hill City Grade School, and Current AmeriTowne Assistant
"Many students were very excited to see their annual and monthly salaries at the beginning of the activity. However, they very soon realized that while it was a decent paycheck, it disappeared very quickly after they paid for their necessary expenses. I think it was very eye-opening for them."
- Teacher, Wheatland High School
