Future Next

Future Next Corporation was founded in 2010 when Nicole Thomas, after having several conversations with parents and young people, quickly realized youth want the same as parents. They want to be involved in positive activities that help prepare for their future and keep them out of trouble. The need for affordable educational after school, summer a... nd college going programs are more crucial now than ever. With severe budget cutbacks, programs being eliminated, and household income at a stand still, we can't give up on our future "the children". "It's not that youth want to fail, make the wrong choices, or get into trouble," says Nicole. The truth is young people need support, guidance, and programs that keeps them motivated, challenged, and engaged. Studies have shown the many disparities that exist between minorities and non-minorities in the public school system. To help meet these challenges, our organization began as a home-based volunteer program to assist youth specifically with reading and literacy. In 2011, the program grew to over 68 students, and FNC moved their programs to a public school space to meet the higher demand. We continue to grow with each program, and we are currently seeking funding to sustain our programs. Over a short time period, our programs have gained momentum and popularity with parents, students, and in the community reaching over 85 students. We are providing support, guidance, and tutorial services in both academic, social, and community service capacities to our most vulnerable young people.Read More
