About NGY
Young people shouldn’t have to wait to start building.
NGY is a youth-led parent organization creating programs, platforms and communities that give young people practical ways to learn, build, connect and lead.
What is NGY?
The organization behind the opportunities.
Next Generation Youths is not one event and it is not another name for NGN Hacks. NGY is the parent organization that creates, operates, supports and grows youth-focused initiatives.
NGN Hacks gives students a place to build. NGN Network is being designed to help those connections continue. FinLit brings clear financial learning to younger students. Each initiative has its own purpose. NGY is the engine behind all of them.
Why it exists
The gap is rarely a lack of ambition.
Young people learn ideas in one place, find opportunities in another, meet collaborators somewhere else and are often left to connect the pieces alone. NGY builds the missing bridges.
Building
Knowledge becomes practical work.
Community
Builders find people worth knowing.
Opportunity
Momentum has somewhere to go.

Our ecosystem

Our principles
The standard we build against.
Build, don’t just talk.
Ideas matter when someone gives them shape, tests them and puts them into the world.
Keep opportunities accessible.
A first step should feel possible, whether someone is new, experienced or still figuring out where to start.
Think globally.
The people a young person can learn from and build with should not be limited by geography.
Give youth real responsibility.
Young people grow when they are trusted to make decisions, lead teams and own meaningful work.
Build what continues.
The best initiative creates momentum that lasts beyond one workshop, event or launch.
Built by youth. Built for what’s next.
