Successful applicants will be highly resourceful, bold, and thoughtful, with a passion for collaborative work and for making positive social change in the world.

The Future Project
The Future Project launched in October 2011 with more than 500 Future Fellows and Future Coaches in four public high schools across three founding Future Cities: New York, Washington, D.C., and New Haven, CT. We aim to mobilize the rising generation of leaders, innovators, and humanitarians and build a movement of young people committed to transforming education and creating a world in which everyone is inspired.
The Future Project recruits and selects the most passionate, driven college students, graduate students, and young professionals living in cities and unites them with local high school students for a guided, year-long adventure. Future Coaches (volunteers) and Future Fellows (high school students) meet each week to explore themselves and their communities, and, alongside other pairs, take on team challenges that build leadership, expression, and creative thinking skills. Over the course of the year, Fellows design and execute a Future Project that dares them to do the impossible.
