NExtgen Young Agents

Your insurance career doesn’t have to be all work and no play. NExtgen is where young professionals across Nebraska connect, unwind, and build real friendships with people who get what you do for a living, no matter where you’re based.

Big 'I' Nebraska NExtgen Young Agents
Nebraska NExtgen was recognized as a finalist for the “Breakout Young Agents Committee of the Year” award at the Big “I” National Young Agents Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, September 11-13, 2025.

What We Do

We’re about building relationships, growing your career, and having a good time while doing both.

Why Join?

Because insurance is better when you’re not doing it alone. Whether you’re new to the industry or a few years in, NExtgen gives you a community of people in the same boat: Navigating careers, swapping war stories, and building friendships that go beyond business cards.
