What We Stand For
Every person has the ability to do amazing things in life – especially trauma survivors. We stand for everyone to have an equal playing field with education and career coaching opportunities. No survivor should ever get left behind.
How We Do It
We believe that passion and purpose are the keys to a fulfilling life, however, it’s not always easy to discover what that is. This is where we come in. We help provide options and direction when someone needs a little help figuring out “what’s next”.
Volunteer with Us
Whether you are a community leader, a survivor, or someone with a teachable skill, we want to work with you! Check out our Volunteers and Upcoming Campaigns pages to see how you can jump in and help out.
Why This Matters
When a trauma survivor begins to work through and implement a recovery program and reintegrate into life, it is critical that a purpose is found in order to maintain progress in the latter stages.
This is where But, What’s Next shines. We are here to help trauma survivors navigate career and education resources and help them discover their passions as they journey on towards what’s next in life.

How Donations Can Help
We are working diligently to raise awareness and build strategic relationships with existing organizations to be able to fill the gap in helping trauma survivors figure out what’s next in life.
