The Future Project

It's #WorkingWednesday and we’d like to highlight High School in the Community senior and second-year Deputy Dream Director Rillieux Ifill for putting together a Gratitude Challenge board in their school. "I am grateful for the fact that I am able to stay after school, and instead of just waiting for my college class to start later in the evening, I am able to contribute to bettering our community with things like this Dream Team Gratitude Challenge board. Also, I'm grateful I'm having fun doing what I'm doing in my life. Not everyone is having fun, and I'm grateful I am." - Rillieux Ifill Last week, the Dream Team committed to almost 200 acts of gratitude as part of November's #gratitudechallenge @hscnewhaven #WorkingWednesdays #NHV #givethanks #thefutureproject #gratitude #NHVyouth #NewHaven

THANK YOU to @forbes for telling the story of our partnership and the Dreamers In Action Day of Service! We are grateful to everyone from the @forbesunder30 Summit, to the team at @bgcsem for opening their doors to us, & of course to the visionary students of the Detroit Public Schools @detroitk12 who, as Dream Director @danielledhughes put it “are relentless... and will literally make something out of nothing.” We look forward to many years of collaboration in Detroit and beyond! Future Project alum Deangelo Hughes @dehughes_ said it best: “Helping young people find their passion by having them interact with the 30 under 30s—it creates so much impact on peoples lives.” #LinkInBio #ReimagineBGCSM #forbesunder30 #community #students #entrepreneur #business #thefutureproject #detroityouth #forbes #boysandgirlsclub
