Apply for Up to $3,000 to Launch Your Own Community Project

For the past five years, in addition to hosting its own events, Up | Next has actively supported and funded the creation of new chapters and innovative, teen-led solutions to social issues.

Now, as part of his 2025 goals, Up | Next President and Founder Addison Moore has announced the organization’s newest program: ActionWorks.

Launching in late August 2025, this initiative will allow teens in Fairfield county to formally apply for up to $3k in funding to support their own independent projects that tackle real, tangible social challenges.

Participants will meet monthly with our Advisory Board, gaining guidance from professionals in business, government, philanthropy, and beyond—and will even have the opportunity to start their own Up | Next club or group.
