Our Focus

Why Teens and 20-Somethings? Why Gaming?

If you're a young adult today, your experience is very different from previous generations Though you may not know it, typically you're:

using drugs less, smoking less, drinking alcohol less, but...
driving later, living at home longer, going out with friends less, experiencing more anxiety, and...
playing games far more.

All right, you probably knew that last one, but what might be news to you is that playing games can help you move forward in life. That's why you and gaming are at the core of our program. How awesome is that?

So What's a Typical Program Like?

Next Quest's model is pretty simple. We provide a leadership and life skills curriculum, help you define a goal, identify goal-related Stretch Quests (real-world activities), and meet weekly for gaming/coaching sessions to:

motivate you (completing real-world Stretch Quests helps you level up your in-game character more quickly),
discuss leadership, teamwork, and other group dynamics
practice life skills (depending upon the goals you're working on),
and have fun.

What Programs Are There?

Next Quest offers three levels of leadership and life skill development. Completion of all three provides a well-rounded leadership experience. Give it a try. The worst that can happen is that you learn a whole lot more about yourself.
