Catch the Next’s Ascender Program is committed to increasing equitable outcomes in higher education by inspiring the minds that will lead the world.

Catch the Next, Inc. (CTN) Ascender Program promotes academic achievement, acquisition of knowledge and skills, self-esteem, and empowerment to prevent drop out, encourage higher education, build civic action and citizenship and foster community leadership. We do this by increasing young people’s self-esteem, empowerment, and awareness of how they can create and take responsibility for positive change for themselves, their families and their communities.

Tonight, we celebrate the start of the tenth academic year of Catch the Next, Inc. We are also celebrating the award of the Edge Commendation for Innovation in Education by the John N. Gardner Institute for Excellence in Undergraduate Education.

In addition, we celebrate that Catch the Next’s Ascender Program is a semi finalist of the Excelencia in Education award for 2021.

We have so much to be thankful for, please enjoy the event and support our efforts to continue to help our students aspire, ascend, and achieve by making a financial contribution to Catch the Next.
