Next Step Up is designed to engage Tuskegee University students and high school students in the community. Therefore, volunteer activities such as community trash clean ups, volunteering to package meals at local food bank and volunteering at nursing homes are held to immerse all participants in the Tuskegee community. 

​

Studies show that participating in community service and being immersed in the inner workings of one's community, helps to foster a strong sense of community pride. We therefore encourage high school students to participate in our community service activities to foster pride, love and belongingness.
