Leveling Up Social Skills: Next Level Collaboration Secures $500K to Transform Gaming-Based Support for Kids

Next Level Collaboration is thrilled to announce a successful funding milestone, having raised $500,000 to support its groundbreaking research-based social capacity building program for children aged 8 to 15 years old. This innovative initiative uniquely harnesses children’s enthusiasm for gaming to nurture essential collaborative skills and foster genuine connectedness. The funds raised will significantly expand the program’s reach and impact by further developing its distinctive digital platform, which combines state-of-the-art video modelling with interactive feedback during collaborative play. Drawing on the pioneering work of Dr. Matthew Harrison, Next Level Collaboration is the first initiative of its kind in the world, tailored specifically to empower children with social-emotional differences rather than deficits. The program is designed to engage children on the autism spectrum as well as those with intellectual disabilities and ADHD, ensuring that each participant can thrive in an environment that celebrates their unique strengths. The infusion of new capital will be strategically allocated to enhancing program content, expanding outreach efforts, and investing in robust research to continuously refine its approach. By integrating rigorous research with engaging, game-based learning strategies, Next Level Collaboration is poised to create long-lasting, positive changes in the lives of young participants. This funding round marks a significant leap forward in the company’s mission to revolutionize support for social skill development through technology, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to advance their collaborative abilities in a fun, engaging way. As Next Level Collaboration launches into this new phase, it looks forward to transforming community support for children with diverse social-emotional needs and setting a new standard for digital educational tools worldwide.
