Mission Statement
Future Link seeks to close the opportunity divide for high potential young adults in Montgomery County who are first-generation-to-college, low-income students facing additional adversities. We provide them with the resources, knowledge, skills and personalized long-term support to achieve their education and career goals.
About This Cause
Future Link serves 18-25-year-olds, 90% of whom are black or Hispanic and at the developmental level upon entering college. Though motivated to create a better future, our students have poor self-esteem and are trapped in a family cycle of low expectations and minimum wage jobs or chronic unemployment with little sense of what success looks or feels like. Our program operates in two-phases: a 15-week seminar followed by a robust multi-year personalized post-seminar support program. Now in our 13th year, Future Link has grown dramatically and currently serves roughly 325 new and continuing students annually, many of whom have been in the program for several years. Our cadre of volunteer professionals includes over 125 mentors, tutors and career coaches. Future Link’s dedicated staff and a highly involved Board of Directors have extensive experience working in higher education and knowledge of best practices, which further our mission and magnify our impact.
