Traci Bakenhaster is the founder of Raising the next gen...
An organization dedicated to helping teens and young adults get life right from the start. We offer workshops, courses, and customized one-on-one help for teens and their families in all aspects of career, college, and adulting (life skills).
Her Story...
Traci Bakenhaster is someone who knows first-hand how it feels to be unprepared for life, not to know her purpose, not to know how to be an adult. She knows what it is like to fall and fall hard.
In high school she was an honor roll student, involved in sports, clubs, and stayed out of trouble. But at 20, Traci found herself pregnant after a history of poor life choices. She had no plan for her future, and did not see her own worth or value.
As a very young single mom, she found herself on the system until she lost eligibility, then the debt started to grow. She enrolled in college not knowing what to do, took out tens of thousands in student loans, ended up working three jobs at one point, all while being in school full-time.
She knew she had to go through all of this hardship and struggle so she could help others not find themselves down the same path, that's when Raising the Next Gen was born. Since then, she has dedicated her life to changing the lives of teens everywhere.
She has been featured on many podcasts as a guest, has been a speaker to hundreds of high school students, and has started a fiscally sponsored nonprofit, Adulting 101, an afterschool program for foster care, at-risk, or impoverished teens.
Traci has over 12 years experience in higher education, career tech, and industry. She holds four college degrees, multiple certifications, and is heavily involved in the community where she volunteers, and serves on multiple board of directors for nonprofit organizations.
