OUR MISSION IS to provide a safe, creative,

and engaging space for kids to learn,

grow, and develop confidence.           

At Next Up Nova, our story starts with the lifelong friendship of two guys who grew up together right here in Northern Virginia. We share a deep love for our community, arts & athletics, and a strong belief in the power of creating opportunities. What started as a shared dream has evolved into a dedicated mission, and today, we’re making it happen.

We've seen firsthand the positive impact we've had, and that's what drives us to do even more for the area love—it’s all about the kids and the community.

for the students

These days arts and athletics are some of the first casualties of budget cuts in schools, so we’re working to bridge this gap. Bringing them together in one space enables us to support a diverse group of kids and interests— creating opportunities for them to explore their interests, and providing the knowledge and tools they need to shine.

the team behind the dream

Our team members are just as passionate about teaching and mentoring as they are about their creative fields. With their industry expertise, they craft hands-on programs that offer practical application, igniting a lasting love for learning and endless possibilities.

it’s all about community

Our roots run deep here in Northern Virginia, and we couldn't be prouder. The talent, energy, and dreams we see in the kids here every day keep us going. We're working hard and strengthening our community, one program at a time.
