About Us
Who We Are
Who We Are
Who We Are
Co-founders, Cindy and Diane, first met while they were both pregnant and walking their dogs (Lily and Jazz). For years, they carpooled to school, played in the local park and developed a deep respect for each other as mothers and creators trying to contribute to a world they want their families to live in. Today, their children are twenty somethings, and their second generation of dogs (Koda and Nya) are still playing together.
The world has changed, A LOT, in two decades making the pathway to a fulfilling career and life much less clear. Cindy and Diane are committed to supporting young people as they journey through school and into adulthood with honest, transparent and actionable information and support.
They created Futre so that every young person in America can design and launch the life they want to lead.
