N1A works to develop Black & Latina/o youth through science, technology, engineering, arts, athletics & math (STEAAM) programming.

We believe that helping to build these skills in young people will help them become change agents who will transform their communities. The values that guide our programming include:
•	Equity – All youth to have the right to equitable education in science, technology, engineering, arts, athletics and math.
•	Opportunity – All youth deserve the opportunity to achieve their boldest dreams.
•	Access – Youth learn in different ways, and access to a variety of educational experiences is essential.
•	Integrity – We operate the organization with integrity in our programs and service delivery.
NexxtOne Academy works in partnership with D.C. public and charter schools to provide programs to middle and high school students, focusing on the intersectionality of STEM, athletics, and the arts. Through our offerings, we aim to demonstrate to young people the necessity of these disciplines and how they are integrated into all aspects of their everyday lives and potential careers.

NexxtOne Academy (N1A)

Started as 10-week walking challenge, 10 years ago, by 2 friends, GirlTrek is now a global movement of 1M+ Black women.

GirlTrek, the largest public health nonprofit for African-American women and girls in the United States. With nearly 100,000 neighborhood walkers, GirlTrek encourages women to use walking as a practical first step to inspire healthy living, families, and communities. As women organize walking teams, they mobilize community members to support monthly advocacy efforts and lead a civil rights-inspired health movement.

Beyond walking, GirlTrek’s active members support local and national policy to increase physical activity through walking, improve access to safe places to walk, protect and reclaim green spaces, and improve the walkability and built environments of 50 high-need communities across the United States.

With Partnership for a Healthier America, The Centers for Disease Control, Stanford Prevention Research Center, The American Council on Exercise, Safe Routes to School National Partnership, and The Sierra Club, GirlTrek has developed a world-class training for African-American women to serve as health professionals in the areas of fitness, mental health, nutrition, and environmental stewardship. GirlTrek’s mission is to inspire one million African-American women and girls to develop a daily habit of walking.
