Thank you for your interest in supporting Next Step to Success! We rely on the passion and commitment of volunteers like you to make a lasting impact on the lives of Norfolk teens. Please complete the form below so we can match you with the best volunteer opportunity.
We believe that, by working together, we can cut Norfolk's poverty rate in one-half within a generation, resulting in a community that is safer, better educated, more prosperous and richer in opportunity for everyone. For too long, we have listened to people declare that “someone - 'they' - should do something about our high rate of poverty in Norfolk” (whoever “they” are). Well, at Next Step to Success we have decided that we and our community parties are “they”.
When you donate to Next Step to Success, you directly support life-changing opportunities for Norfolk teens. Every dollar helps us provide:
Your support ensures our students have access to the resources, mentors, and experiences they need to thrive—at no cost to them or their families.
Together, we’re building a generation equipped with grit, resilience, and the tools for lifelong success.
Donate today and be the reason a young person gets to their next step.
Every minute of mentorship = $1 toward changing a life. TowneBank has generously pledged $1,000,000 to support the Next Step to Success construction project at the former DePaul Hospital campus. Now, they’re challenging businesses, non-profits, and individuals to match this gift—one mentorship minute at a time.
Together, we can empower Norfolk’s youth, build a stronger community, and create lasting change.
