Next Generation Founders (NGF) is a student-led initiative founded at Stanford University that expands access to creativity, innovation, and opportunity for youth from under-resourced and first-generation backgrounds.

We host hands-on workshops that introduce students to modern AI and innovation tools, help them explore ideas, and build confidence in their ability to create positive change. After each workshop, students join a supportive national community where they receive free resources, ongoing guidance, weekly group office hours, and inspiring conversations with innovators, founders, and leaders who broaden their sense of what is possible.

By combining belief, access, and creativity, NGF helps young people build agency and opportunity and contribute to more hopeful, resilient, and connected communities.

Our mission: empower the next generation of innovators through belief, access, and opportunity.
