What is McHenry’s NEXT?
McHenry’s NEXT empowers young professionals in and around McHenry, by offering dynamic community engagement, vibrant social activities, rewarding volunteer opportunities, and helping create friendships that last, outside of the events. We also partner with other local young professional groups to provide an even wider range of networking and growth. Although there is no age restriction, attendees are typically between the ages of 21 and 40.
Build Relationships.
We host a monthly local event designed to inspire and connect the next generation of McHenry County leaders. It’s all about meeting new people, making meaningful connections, and building friendships—networking, but with a fresh, exciting twist!.
Engage in the Community.
Throughout the year our group likes to give back! Whether it’s ringing bells for red kettle or volunteering at local events, we offer fulfilling and visible volunteer opportunities.
Grow Personally and Professionally.
The McHenry Area Chamber offers year-round opportunities to grow, learn, and connect. Through Business Bites, WINGS, Cultivated, peer groups, and other engaging programs, we empower our attendees to expand their knowledge, strengthen relationships, and grow both personally and professionally.
Our McHenry’s Next Committee plans the social and engagement opportunities throughout the year. This year’s committee members include:
