Program Description:
The founders of Partnership for the Future (PFF) believed that young people â with great potential but limited resources â need to experience new environments, forge new relationships and have access to opportunities often not available to them in order to succeed. They need to experience the benefits of private enterprise and learn how saving for and attending college can open doors to a different future. Since our founding, Partnership for the Future has helped more than 500 students prepare for college and the workplace. 99 percent of the students involved in PFF matriculate to post-secondary educational programs. PFF alumni have gone on to graduate from top schools, including the University of Virginia, Virginia Tech and the University of Richmond, and have gone on to become doctors, lawyers, marketing professionals, and accountants, to name a few.
