While students learn a lot in school, “Adulthood 101” and “Informed Life Choices” simply aren’t part of the standard curriculum. Project Next is here to fill the gap.
We offer students at San Marcos, Mission Hills, Twin Oaks, Escondido and Escondido Charter High Schools the resources and support they need to confidently identify and get ready for their next move—the one they’re excited to pursue.

Project Next Executive Director Lisa Stout and her team share a combined 30 years of experience as high school counselors. They’re well equipped to bridge the gap between the resources schools have and the support students need to plan the next chapter of their lives.
"Project Next has helped me grow not only as a professional, but as a person. I have gained experience through networking, fundraising events, and leadership lessons from Project Next. My time with this organization has introduced me to amazing peers and mentors who have answered all my questions and helped guide me through a challenging year. Project Next has prepared me for my future two - ten years from now."

"Being involved with Project Next has changed my high school career and will have a definite impact on my future. This program has allowed me to gain confidence and find my true voice. Before, I was never able to speak publicly or talk to professionals, but now with the skills I acquired from Connect to Careers, Networking hours and the Project Next staff, I am able to speak proud and confident. With what I have learned, I can spread the resources and information that Project Next and the Future Center holds, helping my peers seek their goals and pursue what they are passionate for. Truthfully, being a part of this astounding program has made such a great impact on the person I am today within this year, and will continue to be a driving force in my future plans."

"As someone who is first generation, it is difficult to research and find information about my future on my own, along with the lack of guidance on where I'm headed or want to go. However, Thanks to Project Next, not only have I refined my speech and gained confidence on what to say in interviews but I also now have guidance and the ability to conduct research on what I want to do from their helpful programs and events."
