BroadFutures empowers young people with learning and attention issues through an innovative, holistic program that combines career and college readiness with mentoring and paid internships. Less than 50% of young people with learning and attention issues finish their post secondary education or find full time employment. BroadFutures is committed to changing the present paradigm, preparing young people for their futures and ensuring they have equal opportunities for success!

BroadFutures is the only program of its kind in the country. In just six short years of programming, we have rapidly expanded. We started with five local participants in the summer of 2014 and three employer partners. We have now served over 170 young people from all across the country and hundreds more through outreach efforts. We have also partnered with over 50 employers, resulting in mutually beneficial outcomes for the young people we serve as well as our employers who recognize the many benefits of a diverse and inclusive workforce.

Despite these challenging times, BroadFutures is keeping our doors open - virtually! Given the present COVID-19 pandemic, we swiftly and successfully pivoted our in person program this spring to a virtual program. We continue to offer virtual career and college readiness programs, individual mentoring and coaching, community outreach, as well as some remote internships. We are committed to continuing to meet the needs of the amazing young people we are so fortunate to serve. At this critical time, BroadFutures needs your support more than ever!
