ABOUT US

The Moore Legacy Foundation, Inc. proudly operates the Next Steps Educational (NSED) Academy, a dynamic, student-centered technology program designed to empower youth with a passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). NSED Academy provides engaging, hands-on learning experiences that inspire innovation, critical thinking, and problem-solving among students from diverse backgrounds.

NSED Academy takes a collaborative, community-based approach by partnering with local colleges and universities, faith-based organizations, chambers of commerce, and regional school systems. These partnerships ensure that the program is deeply rooted in the communities it serves, offering accessible educational opportunities that meet students where they are—both geographically and developmentally.

Through a blend of short-term workshops and long-term programming, NSED Academy equips students with practical skills in emerging technologies and digital literacy, helping them explore academic pathways and career opportunities in STEM industries. This initiative is an integral part of The Moore Legacy Foundation’s mission to close opportunity gaps, foster educational equity, and prepare the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators.

NEXTSTEPS Educational Academy (NSED Academy) was founded in the spring of 2012 with a mission to positively impact communities through education and mentorship. We specialize in providing customized training programs, mentorship, internships, and professional development services that focus on building essential life skills, core values, effective communication, and strong relationships.
 

Our programs are designed to educate students while fostering long-lasting partnerships within the community. By collaborating with local colleges, universities, faith-based organizations, and school systems, we ensure that our programs are accessible and effective across the region.
 

Our initiatives have successfully reached students in Washington DC, the City of Hampton, the City of Norfolk, and the RVA Region. We cater to a diverse range of students, from middle school to college, helping them develop the skills and knowledge needed for academic and professional success.
 

NSED Academy is committed to creating unique ecosystems of students by embedding our programs within the communities we serve. This approach not only broadens our reach but also helps build a supportive network for students, guiding them toward their future goals. Through our efforts, we strive to make a lasting difference in the lives of the students and the communities we work with.
