FAQs

What happened to the old Next Wave program and the conferences?

We’re doing something different. You can still get information on the original Next Wave program by going to nextwave.afscme.org. Plus, this new program is a lot more convenient for you to get involved. You’re welcome.

Is this really just for young people?

Low key: yes. High key: yes. We won’t turn you away, but we’ll know.

How much does this cost?

This program is absolutely free, a perk that comes with your AFSCME membership.

You said you’re going to reward me. What do I get?

Besides the feeling of righteous benevolence that comes with fighting for your rights, you’ll also get stickers, gold stars, shareable badges of honor you can show off online, and access to special content and opportunities.

How are you tracking what I’m doing? Are you stalking me?!

We are not in the business of stalking anyone. We don’t have time for that! In order to earn points, you will need to report to us once you participate in union events (no faxes, please). Once you’ve reported your activity online, we’ll be using several boring data systems to verify your attendance.

What if I don’t have email or use any social media?

WHO ARE YOU?? To be the future of the labor movement, you need technology.

Enough with the questions! Sometimes you just have to decide to give something a try.
