Members portal · Help for kids and parents

Your portal, step by step.

Everything a NextGen speaker does in the portal: sign up for a role, book a speech, write your intro, and see how far you have come. Do it together with a parent the first time.

Open the members portal →

Step 1

Log in.

1
Go to nextgenstars.in/portal.
2
Type your username (all small letters, no spaces) and the 6-digit PIN we sent your parent on WhatsApp.
3
Tap Log in. The first page is this week’s agenda for your club.
In more than one club? Tap the club’s name at the top of the agenda to switch. Always check you are looking at the right club before you sign up.

Step 2 · New

Write your intro.

A few lines about you. The Emcee reads it out when you speak, so the audience gets to know you.

1
Tap the ☰ menu at the top, then 🪪 My Card.
2
Under 👋 About me, tap Write my intro.
3
Fill in the boxes you like: your class, school (optional), what you love, your favourite thing, what you want to be, and a fun fact.
4
The dotted box shows how the Emcee will introduce you. Happy with it? Tap Save.
Only members of your club can read it, and only after logging in. It never goes on the public website. You can change it any time.

Step 3

Take a role.

Timer, Emcee, Word of the Day, Evaluator… every meeting needs them, and every role you take counts towards your badges.

1
On the agenda, find a slot marked OPEN with a coral Sign me up → button.
2
Choose Just take the role, or use the role for one of your Club Craft projects (CC1 to CC5). Tap Sign me up.
3
A green box asks you to check the club, meeting date, role and project. If it is all right, tap Yes, sign me up. If not, tap No, cancel.
4
Your name now shows on the agenda. Can’t come after all? Tap Give up on your role so someone else can take it.

Step 4

Give a speech.

Every prepared speech is one project from the manual. You pick which one when you book it.

1
Find an open Prepared Speech slot and tap the purple Nominate — choose project button.
2
Pick your next project. Each one shows its goal. Finish Level 1 (SM1 to SM5) before Level 2 opens. Projects you have finished say COMPLETED.
3
Check the club, date and project in the green box, then tap Yes, sign me up.
4
Tap ✎ Name this speech to give it a title, like “The Day I Met a Giraffe”. The Emcee announces it.
5
After you speak, your evaluator writes your feedback. It appears in My Progress, and the project turns COMPLETED once it is approved.

Good to know

Four club rules.

They keep things fair, so every child gets a turn every week.

🔁

Speak, then serve

After a speech, sign up for at least one role before you book your next speech. It can be at the very same meeting. If the speech button says “Take a role first”, that is why.

☝️

One speech at a time

You can have only one speech booked. Give it first, then book the next one.

✅

Come, or let it go

If you are not marked present at the meeting, your role is freed when the meeting closes. Your project comes back so you can book it again next time.

📅

Can’t make it?

Tap Give up on a role or Withdraw on a speech before the meeting, so a friend can take the slot.

Step 5

See how far you have come.

Tap the ☰ menu, then 🚀 My Progress.

1
Your numbers: sessions attended, roles taken and projects completed.
2
Badges you have earned, and how close you are to the next one.
3
Your tracks: tap a track to see every project in it, with its goal and the skill it teaches. 📘 Open the manual has the idea questions and speech map for each one.
4
Feedback received: everything your evaluators wrote, and one thing to work on in your next speech.
New tracks such as Storytelling and Speech Excellence unlock once you finish the manual. Until then they show a 🔒.
