Meet Dani Figueroa, the 2025 Selfless Senior of Nex+Gen Academy High School.
"My name is Dani Figueroa (he/him), Selfless Senior from Nex+Gen Academy High School and I am very passionate about helping my community. As a transgender boy with an immigrant father, I particularly see the challenges that the LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities face. I believe it is my duty to help these communities because they unjustly face challenges simply due to their identities. Our communities are who raise us, support us, and teach us about life, and I think it is important to give back to those who help shape us. Each of us can make a difference, and as human beings, I believe it is our responsibility to do so."
