New Futures is a dynamic Washington, DC nonprofit with a unique approach to fighting inequity: we believe fiercely that shorter-term credentials – associate degrees or professional certifications – can be a phenomenal launching pad toward rewarding, fulfilling careers. One of the only college success organizations supporting underserved young people on this so-called non-traditional path, New Futures invests in our Scholars with a deliberate combination of scholarships, academic and career advising, access to transformative professional networks, and a lot of heart as they jumpstart careers in in-demand fields that will lead to financial security.
New Futures was founded in 1999 as a scholarship organization, but we’re so much more than that now, and we’ve evolved significantly since 2016 as a leader in college persistence and workforce development.
