Why Next Move™ exists

Every year, millions of people face life-defining transitions with no safe way to practice the decisions ahead. Someone leaving incarceration navigates housing, employment, and supervision simultaneously. A veteran returning to civilian life rebuilds an entire identity. A young person aging out of foster care makes adult decisions for the first time with no safety net. A domestic violence survivor plans a safe exit while managing court orders and custody. A person in recovery confronts every trigger the real world throws at them.

The decisions are interconnected, time-sensitive, and high-consequence. Getting one wrong can spiral. There’s no safe place to practice. Until now.

Next Move™ gives people the chance to navigate realistic branching scenarios, experiencing consequences, building judgment, and developing strategies, before the real decisions arrive. The first Next Move™ module serves reentry and alternative-to-incarceration (ATI) programs, currently available in eight states — Alabama, Arizona, California, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Washington, and Wisconsin — with state-by-state releases rolling out across all 50 states, each reflecting that state’s actual laws, programs, and resources. Next up: veterans in transition and youth aging out of foster care. Next Move™ is building toward every high-stakes life transition — domestic violence recovery, navigating court systems, sustaining sobriety, and more.

What Next Move™ believes

People deserve practice, not just information

Pamphlets and checklists aren’t enough. Decision-making is a skill that improves with practice, especially under realistic conditions.

Built by people who understand the problem

Next Move™ scenarios are shaped by subject-matter experts and practitioners with direct knowledge of the transitions the platform covers — reentry, housing, recovery, court systems, workforce barriers, and family reunification.

Multilingual from day one

Next Move™ ships in four languages — English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole — so that more people can use the platform in the language they’re most comfortable with.

Free for the people Next Move™ serves

Next Move™ never charges the individuals who use the platform. Revenue comes from the institutions and agencies responsible for outcomes.
