Amplify The Next exists to accelerate the next generation by providing relationships, resources, and experiences that help children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
We focus on accessible, sustainable initiatives that meet immediate needs—such as warm clothing, food, and school supplies—while also investing in long-term growth through education, inclusion, mentorship, and special-needs support.
At Amplify, we believe impact doesn’t require massive budgets instead, it requires intentional action. Our projects are designed to be high-leverage and community-centered, addressing real needs while building trust and capacity in the communities we serve.
Our work includes:
Clothing and school-supply drives
Literacy and reading support in elementary schools
Mentorship and classroom volunteering
Special-needs program support
Community and faith-based partnerships
Below are highlights of Amplify’s work to date—examples of how modest investments translate into meaningful, tangible impact:
Hacking Glove Drive
Our inaugural drive collected and distributed gloves and winter items to children in need, sparking additional donations and increased local interest in Amplify’s mission.
Faith & Campus Partnerships
We have collaborated with a local Missionary Baptist church and the Beta Beta Chapter at the University of Akron (Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.) to coordinate donation drives, community events, and volunteer engagement.
Greater Cleveland Food Bank
Through a partnership with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, Amplify participated in homeless outreach efforts and coordinated donations to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity.
School Outreach (Cleveland & California)
Amplify donated hats and gloves to schools in California and supported Cleveland-area schools through reading events, in-class volunteer service, and donation drives.
Nathan Hales / Carylwood Elementary (Cleveland)
Amplify volunteers provided classroom support by reading with younger students at Carylwood Elementary, fostering literacy, encouragement, and mentorship.
