Mission Statement
Futures and Options’ mission is to empower New York City’s youth, particularly youth of color and students from historically underrepresented communities, to acquire transferable professional skills, pursue higher education, and successfully compete in a global 21st century economy. We collaborate with New York City employers to provide transformative career development opportunities to young people, enabling them to succeed in college and inspiring them to pursue meaningful careers. Our model program enables New York's underserved youth to gain much-needed access to the economic mainstream, work-readiness training, and support from caring adults. At the same time, private and nonprofit businesses are connected to a pipeline of promising, motivated, and diverse young people.
About This Cause
Since our founding, Futures and Options has served more than 14,000 New York City youth, partnered with more than 500 businesses and 200 schools. Our programming has grown to include a robust internship program, multiple career development workshops, specialized, industry-specific opportunities for students to explore their passions, and myriad touch-points for alumni engagement. Through this web of support, we prepare students to be competitive in the 21st century job market, equipped with the critical thinking, collaboration, and interpersonal skills necessary for success in the working world.
