NextGen Teaching Assistants Highlight Video 

The NextGen Teaching Assistants play a vital role in supporting the learning experiences of student fellows through the course of the NextGen Program. Our Teaching Assistants are returning students from the NextGen Program 2024 who returned to volunteer, guiding group projects, facilitating discussions, and offering peer-to-peer mentorship. Their leadership, encouragement, and commitment embody the spirit of NextGen where true leadership begins with service and the willingness to uplift others.

Zack Cao, a High School Senior student and Co-Founder of the NextGen Program, along with Judy Xu and Kureha Kasahara returned to the class this year to volunteer as Teaching Assistants, and all delivered speeches, encouraging young learners to engage meaningfully with society, create community initiatives, and shared practical experiences in serving their communities.
