It’s about connectedness this holiday season – and every day.

December 8, 2015 by Future Foundation

This holiday season we reflect on what drives us forward throughout the year, and we extend gratitude for all who invest in us. Fifty-percent. That’s how many of the students in East Point and College Park graduate from high school. At Future Foundation, we’ve doubled that average. In our first decade, we ensured that 100% […]

According to MindTools, a good elevator speech should be interesting, memorable, and succinct. It needs to explain what makes you unique. And it should be no longer than a short elevator ride—20 to 30 […]
