LEARN. HUSTLE. SUCCEED

OVERVIEW

AUXILIUM NEXT CUT
Initiative Overview
Presented by Auxilium, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization

Where style meets skills, and youth learn the business behind the chair.
Auxilium Next Cut is a youth-centered entrepreneurship and workforce-readiness initiative
located inside Crown Colony. The program focuses on teaching the business side of a groomingbased environment, not haircutting instruction. Youth are introduced to how a service-based

professionalism, and day-to-day business flow.

small business operations in a real community setting while creating a welcoming, serviceoriented space for seniors and residents.
