FUTURO is an inclusive organization committed to creating equitable opportunities in education, our communities, and the workplace. We strive to enhance the quality of life for the underserved and underrepresented in our communities through education, leadership training, service, strong partner networks, and civic engagement.
Since FUTURO’s inception, we have set ourselves apart from other organizations on campus. We focus on building a professionally driven, strong community of leaders who are engaged and prepared for the workforce. Our greatest asset is our group of determined young professionals, our alumni, leaders, and community partners. Along with our partners, our goal is to create a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable workforce. The wealth of support from FUTURO alumni, professional mentors, and volunteers provides students with guidance and inspiration, as well as opportunities for job shadow, internships, mentorship, career growth, and professional development.
FUTURO is the Spanish word for “future” because we intentionally work to make students’ dreams a reality.
FUTURO gives you access to the skills, resources, and opportunities that will help you succeed in school and your future career. Plus, don’t forget, there’s the familia — a community of peers, mentors, and alumni ready to support you.
