We support children and youth to reach their full potential!
Future Matters is a new, developing nonprofit organization committed to the support, training, development, preparation and success of rising leaders within the South Bend community. Our organization provides high school and middle school students the resources, support, and mentorship necessary to thrive in their individualistic pursuit of a holistically philanthropic future.
College Readiness
Students will receive intensive financial aid counseling to ensure that their attendance at the institutions to which they apply to are admitted, and choose to attend is financially feasible.
Career and Technical Training
Students will be connected to partnered local companies and organizations for internships and employment opportunities.
Athletic Excellence
Students will receive a combination of our college-bound guidance and athletic-related supportive resources which include the development of highlight reels, access to recruitment camps, and college athletic program selection advising.
What we care for
Our student athlete track.
Students enrolled in the student-athlete track will receive a combination of our college-bound guidance (already defined) and athletic-related supportive resources which include the development of highlight reels, access to recruitment camps, and college athletic program selection advising.
Students enrolled in the college-bound track will receive hands-on guidance along with the college search, application, selection, and matriculation processes. These students will also receive intensive financial aid counseling to ensure that their attendance at the institutions to which they apply to are admitted, and choose to attend is financially feasible. We expect our mentorship throughout the college search, matriculation, and financial aid processes to help ensure successful college enrollment and completion among our students on the college-bound track.
Our college-bound track
Our career and trades track
Students enrolled in the career and trades track will be connected to partnered local companies and organizations for internships and employment opportunities. It will be the expectation that students work 15-18 hours per week during the school year and 30-40 hours per week during the summer.
