Areas We Support

NextPlay Youth Foundation helps youth access structured programs that combine esports, STEM education, and digital skill development to support academic growth, leadership, and future-ready skills.

Through approved partner organizations, youth ages 7–17 may participate in coach-led esports training, STEM learning modules, and technology-based enrichment programs designed to promote teamwork, discipline, communication, and critical thinking.

Programs may include competitive and recreational esports, coding and digital creativity, media and content production, game strategy, engineering concepts, and applied technology skills. These experiences transform screen time into meaningful learning while fostering confidence and responsible digital citizenship.

Leadership & Personal Development

NextPlay Youth Foundation supports access to programs that emphasize leadership, character development, and personal responsibility. Through scholarships and financial assistance, youth are able to participate in structured environments that promote mentorship, teamwork, accountability, and positive peer engagement.

By expanding access to these opportunities, NextPlay helps remove financial barriers so youth can build confidence and develop skills that support success in school, future careers, and life.

Scholarships for Families in Need

We provide financial support for families who may not be able to afford esports or STEM programs. Our scholarships help remove financial barriers so every child can participate, learn, and grow.

No child should miss out due to cost.

Scholarship awards may include partial support (25–75%), full program scholarships, short-term or extended access funding, and enhanced academic or enrichment support depending on student need, program format, and available foundation funding.

Partner Support Requests

In addition to family scholarships, Next Play Youth Foundation may provide support to schools, nonprofits, and community organizations seeking assistance with youth-focused esports, STEM, or leadership programs.
