Making Heroes out of Our Learning and Teen Center Students

November 26, 2013 by Future Foundation

There's nothing quite like the connection made when reading to a child. The connection is even more meaningful when the reader is reading his or her own book. That simple thought drove a new activity for students at our Learning and Teen Centers: writing and illustrating their own books-then reading them to pre-K children at local daycare facilities. The idea was developed by one of our employee innovation program teams called Gift Givers. Because the books can be read over and over, we call it gifts that keep on giving. And the students become heroes to the children they read to. Students are creating more than a dozen books with themes of giving: Gift of Friendship, Gift of Love, … [Read more...] about Making Heroes out of Our Learning and Teen Center Students

RealTalk ATL Ambassadors spread the word about Love To Stand Out

September 26, 2013 by Future Foundation

We established the RealTalk ATL Ambassador Society in 2009 to help the teen members gain life skills training and cultural exposure, plan events, and collaborate with Future Foundation on curriculum. This year, we’ve given our RealTalk ATL Ambassadors, who are at various high schools throughout Atlanta, a new responsibility: help promote Love To Stand Out, our one-year campaign that builds on the Future Foundation’s “Prepare to Stand Out” slogan and calls to mind both the idea that “it takes love to stand out” and that students should “love to stand out”—because it’s hard to be different from your peers. The campaign includes a monthly theme that relates specifically to the areas of … [Read more...] about RealTalk ATL Ambassadors spread the word about Love To Stand Out

Sublime in the Community

April 30, 2013 by Future Foundation

Last Thursday, our Teen Center students visited Sublime Doughnuts to learn a little about what it takes to start and run your own business. There is no better example than Sublime. Owner, Kamal Grant, native of Marietta, Georgia, started this family business back in 2008 because he simply loves doughnuts. He first discovered his passion for cooking while in high school while taking a food service class. He shared with the students that a Dunkin Donuts executive spoke to his class and he never forgot how much fun the executive seemed to have in his career. From that moment, Kamal knew he wanted to start his own business where he could do what he loves and nurture his creativity. Following … [Read more...] about Sublime in the Community

Young Professionals of NY: Day 10 of 24 Days of Preparing To Stand Out Against Poverty

April 17, 2013 by Future Foundation

Fedna Jacquet, Actress, 24 - Imagine, Explore, Communicate - I prepare to stand out against poverty by choosing to do community based theater. Individuals in our society have a way of ignoring the larger world around them. Theater will help provide a mirror for society, which allows the audience to gain sight into the struggles of their fellow citizens. I will always stay current and honest to the important issues at hand such as poverty, education, and equality. Scott Brody, Financial Associate, 23 (top) - Ambition, Ingenuity, Resilience - I seek to combat inequality by focusing on mentorship and relationships as a means to increase exposure to the myriad of opportunities that exist in … [Read more...] about Young Professionals of NY: Day 10 of 24 Days of Preparing To Stand Out Against Poverty
