The Future Project - Summer Fellowship

Overview of Idea

This summer, high school "Future Fellows" in New Haven and NYC will form passion-aligned Dream Teams to take on Future Projects that transform their communities. But it doesn't end there. These young innovators will also be co-designing a breakthrough program launching in their schools next year.

The Specifics: What will the $5,000 fund?

These funds will enable us to run two ongoing Future Shops — open, collaborative, learning spaces — where our Fellows and community of volunteers will join forces to create Future Projects. Over the course of the 6-week summer Fellowship, we’ll need to cover food and transportation costs for our 50+ high school Fellows in two cities, as well as salary costs for those running the programs. The funds will also allow us to host a summer’s-end community-wide celebration of the big dreams and bold actions of our Fellows.
