Dreams vs. Reality

October 9, 2015 by Future Foundation

My heart has been heavy this week as I learned about the consecutive killings of two South Fulton students due to senseless violence. One of those students, Benson West, was a freshmen at Banneker High School and participating in our RealTalk ATL Program. I never met Benson, but I learned from our team this morning he was quiet in class, it was clear he was struggling with something, and recently asked about our College4Careers Program. Hearing about Benson's inquiry eerily illustrated for me the gap between the dreams and the realities facing our youth living in impossible situations due to violence and poverty. Above are pictures I received this week of students at Banneker High School … [Read more...] about Dreams vs. Reality

SUMMERTIME STEM @ SIEMENS

July 22, 2014 by Future Foundation

On Tuesday 7/15/2014 the teens were invited to participate in Siemens Science Day. George Buchanan, a Future Foundation Board Member,  taught the teens all about windmills and how they operate. They learned that “Wind turbines”, the modern equivalent of the windmill, are usually grouped into large collections of units to produce electricity. These are called wind power plants, or wind farms. They are generally located in agricultural areas where large plots of land are available, and agricultural activities are undisturbed by their action. Often located in windy areas of the country, they can also be constructed offshore to make use of winds that sweep over the bodies of water. Wind-powered … [Read more...] about SUMMERTIME STEM @ SIEMENS

Future Foundation is looking for some young leaders

June 30, 2014 by Future Foundation

Since its inception in 2001, the Future Foundation has grown into a successful ‘second family’ for more than a thousand young people. And now we’d like to add to the family with our new Young Leaders Council (YLC). The YLC is a diverse and talented group of young professionals whose collective goal is to further pursue the mission of Future Foundation and enhance the lives of young people in the Atlanta area. The idea for YLC came from one of our current board members, who saw the Council as a way for young professionals to raise awareness of Future Foundation among their peers while providing a means to give back. Members of the Young Leaders Council have a unique opportunity to make … [Read more...] about Future Foundation is looking for some young leaders
