For too long, young professionals in Clinton have faced a tough choice: leave town to grow, or stay and feel stuck. We believe you shouldn’t have to choose. NEXT UP exists to give you the space, tools, and connections to thrive — right here, right now.

We’re an independent, member-driven network for young professionals built on three pillars that fuel real growth:

• Social Networking: Meet new people, build real friendships.

• Community Service: Get hands-on and make a local impact.

• Professional Development: Workshops, mentorship, and career-boosting connections.

From casual hangouts to big events, we make every moment count.

We’re inclusive, approachable, and downright driven. Whether you just moved here or you’ve been around forever, you’ll find a welcoming community ready to cheer your wins and challenge the status quo. No cliques, no gatekeeping — just good people making good things happen — and having fun while doing it.

Open to anyone ready to connect. Membership is free and gives you access to events, service projects and leadership opportunities.

Show up how you want — whether that’s once a month or all in.

We’re not just creating a group — we’re shaping the future.

NEXT UP is about making Clinton the place where young professionals choose to live, work and lead. Together, we’re growing a community of changemakers, business owners and leaders who will define what’s next.
