Change Our Future

What the organization has to say:

“Our organization focuses on youth development programming and youth empowerment. Our goals are to remove barriers and labels placed on underserved communities. Programs are structured to engage and challenge the youth to be agents of change themselves.”

What we found:

Change Our Future recently launched the “Next Man Up” mentoring program at Parkway Northwest High School in West Oak Lane, and is preparing to expand to two more schools. COF also hosts a free annual “I AM Youth Leadership Summit” for Philadelphia high school students. The youth leadership summit provides leadership workshops, motivational speeches, gender table talks, resume review, career development workshops, and connections to job opportunities at their signature career fair. Throughout the year, COF also collects and distributes school supplies and personal hygiene products for students of all ages.
