About Us

Next is a private 501 (c) 3 serving older residents in Birmingham, Beverly Hills, Franklin, Bingham Farms, and the surrounding area for almost 50 years.

The genesis of Next was born through the Birmingham Public Schools and their desire to build a stronger community by working with residents of all ages. Next currently resides at 2121 Midvale, a BPS building, and receives in kind support. This model has allowed Next to grow over the years, becoming the active senior hub of activity it is today. We are grateful to the Birmingham Public Schools for their partnership.

Next continues to evolve in order to meet the growing needs of our 50 plus community with a robust and diverse calendar of activities that includes lifelong learning programs, enrichment opportunities, fitness and art classes, as well as many ways to gather and socialize – over 250 events each month!

Next’s Support Service Department provides care and assistance to hundreds of additional community members who need a little extra support to stay safely in their home. These services are offered to all residents, membership to Next is not required.

Next is proud to serve our community, armed with an entrepreneurial spirit and a dynamic approach to addressing community issues, Next relies on a diverse revenue stream to support its day-to-day operations. Philanthropy is key to keeping our programs and services growing while ensuring accessibility to all who want to participate.
