I learned I can be FUN!

After completing my Vision and Impact Program (VIP) training, I realized that I can put fun in everything that I do. By creating fun, I can still get the job/task done. My life is more enjoyable and so is everyone else’s around me. I discovered that I, Bob Barnes, can be fun!

I lost 80 lbs. by shifting my mindset.

I thought losing weight would be simple: eat right, exercise and the rest would happen right? What I didn't realize is how my mindset was impacting my ability to lose weight. I was going through the motions but with a mindset that was already defeated and settling for giving up easily. I'd lose a two pounds and gain five, then my mind would flip to "okay it's hopeless." After going through my Next Level journey I realized I was using my negative self-talk was a form of sabotage.

Next Level supported me in seeing that for myself and with the support of the community I was able to shift "I can't" to "I am." On my journey I have released 80 lbs. of body fat, moved out of being pre-diabetic, and participated in several 5ks and the Cap City Half Marathon. I changed my relationship to running and enjoy the ability to go out and run around our beautiful city. I have also explored the many opportunities to stay active through weight lifting, rock climbing, swimming, and finding the fun and joy in physical activity. I am proud to say I am in the best shape of my life at 36 years old!

$59,036 for Front Steps Housing and Services

When Next Level first approached me, I said “huh…in how many days?” Each day I began to look and say, this is amazing. How are they doing this? And it showed me as a non-profit organization, we have to move outside of our norm. We have to get outside the box of what the textbooks tell us to do, what the funders tell us to do. We have to move outside of the box to get it done.

Sherri Brandon
Executive Director of Front Steps Housing and Services

$59,280 for Equitas Health

We are beyond grateful and so appreciative of everything the Next Level Trainings’ community service project has done to make our important work possible. This will have a tremendous impact on the thousands of people we serve, especially during this COVID-19 crisis when the community that turns to us needs us now more than ever.

Craig Diaz
Senior Director of Development at Equitas Health

$176,107 for LSS Faith Mission

It was a surprise when Next Level Trainings contacted us in late October and told us their plans. When the team over-delivered on their promise and in such a short period of time, a simple 'thank you' seemed inadequate. We are truly in awe of these leaders and Next Level Trainings.

Jennifer Hamilton
Director of Communications Lutheran Social Services.

$49,504 for Youth Action Philadelphia

The outstanding support from Next Level Trainings has transformed Youth Action and will allow us to further impact, engage, and support students in Philadelphia to become socially responsible leaders.

$184,497 for Maryhaven

I can speak for all of us at Maryhaven: we are eternally thankful to the Next Level Trainings team for their enthusiasm, passion, and tenacity during the past few weeks. Their fundraising efforts and dedication to improve the facility at Maryhaven's adolescent center was breathtaking.

Nanon Morrison
VP of Development and Marketing, Maryhaven

$106,000 for Kaleidoscope Youth Center

We weren’t aware of this program. They just said: ‘We want to support you — and get rid of any limited thinking. Open your mind and your vision; what’s the most wonderful thing that could happen to this organization?’ Less than two months later I was shaking my head in happy disbelief over the results. Such a bounty doesn’t typically rain down on nonprofit agencies such as Kaleidoscope. In fact, their efforts doubled the previous largest contribution.

Amy Eldridge
Executive Director, Kaleidoscope Youth Center

$180,148 for Local Matters

The efforts that students in Next Level Trainings are providing is a true blessing that many non-profits don’t get to experience. Knowing we have this windfall of funds is making a truly massive and transformational impact on our organization.

Michelle Moskowitz Brown
Executive Director, Local Matters

$104,866 for Face To Face Germantown

It’s not often I am at a loss for words, but I have to say over these past couple of weeks with every dollar raised; I had the face of a client come into my head. To say that we are humbled and grateful for what Next Level Trainings has done is an understatement. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

Mary Kay Meeks-Hank

$41,000 for Veterans Resource Center

I fully expected the Military Veterans Resource Center might receive $1,000 or $2,000 from the service project, and I would have been happy with that. Then I saw the oversized check for more than $30,000 – I was really a state of awe. This will really help us build capacity here.
