We believe in you and want to help you achieve your career goals (and support you in your personal goals). We believe in creating a team environment with like-minded peers that support each other and make you feel a part of something bigger than yourself.

Our staff is a diverse community of people, all connected by our belief in 3 core values : Kindness, Positivity and Curiosity.

No member of our staff is a cog in the wheel. We are all (from the CEO to our Licensing Guides to Managers to the Instructors and everywhere in between) a part of something bigger than ourselves and we work together to serve that greater good.

At The Next Street we like to surround ourselves with individuals who are curious and inquisitive by nature. People that are hungry for knowledge and continually find ways to make improvements.

Streeters don’t just get the job done, they do a great job. The Next Street Team isn’t cordial and polite they are genuinely nice.

It is in their nature; they don’t have to work at it.
