We provide each of our children with a trained adult volunteer that we call a KidCoach. Guided by their KidCoach, the child acquires the tools necessary to navigate through their ever-changing and challenging worlds. Each child designs, executes and completes a goal relevant to themselves, their families, schools, communities or nation. Through one-on-one sessions and workshops, children are coached to achieve with confidence, think boldly and communicate powerfully. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Our Program https://www.futurepossibilities.org/donate daily 0.75 2022-07-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/e93ec0d8-91f4-4774-9a6f-cd369af78d08/trophies.jpg Donate - “Future Possibilities is the perfect opportunity to have a direct impact on the future of Columbus.” — KidCoach https://www.futurepossibilities.org/kid-coach-application daily 0.75 2023-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/4ab6e861-fb20-41d7-aab9-6bf2b2fb7ff7/P73A4506_sfw.jpg KidCoach Application - “Guiding and mentoring kids through the program is extremely rewarding and a program I wish I could have taken advantage of when I was young” — KidCoach https://www.futurepossibilities.org/leadership daily 0.75 2026-01-02 https://www.futurepossibilities.org/contact daily 0.75 2022-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Contact https://www.futurepossibilities.org/thank-you daily 0.75 2022-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/d304a20e-0f94-42b3-862e-b07d32613aca/20161212_132949.jpg Thank You - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.futurepossibilities.org/our-kid-coaches daily 0.75 2022-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/84f82b43-502c-4b49-b907-7fe1780ded91/P73A4497_sfw.jpg Our KidCoaches - Our KidCoaches Our KidCoaches visit their kids weekly at school over the lunch hour to inspire, empower, support and guide them through the process of achieving either a personal development or community service goal. To create the best possible volunteer experience for our KidCoaches, formal KidCoach training is provided. In addition to training, each KidCoach is paired with a Lead Coach at their assigned school whose role is to facilitate the program and support the KidCoaches. We are always looking for more passionate individuals to join our team of coaches and make a direct impact in our community! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Our KidCoaches https://www.futurepossibilities.org/scope-and-impact daily 0.75 2022-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/77d4afae-e6c0-4bd8-bb06-9ccbc878d7e1/IMG_1294.JPG Scope and Impact - Scope and Impact The kids of Future Possibilities choose goals that are close to their hearts. Over the years, the children’s goals of contribution have benefited dozens of individuals, institutions, organizations and causes such as: Women’s and children’s shelters Hospitals Animal shelters American Cancer Society Literacy programs Child and youth welfare Senior residences Food banks Environmental causes Homelessness Our children have had a positive and direct impact on the lives of many people in their communities. On average, each child in our program – in executing his or her goal – directly involves 5 people and typically attracts the additional involvement of about 30 others. Based on this ratio, in a typical year the Future Possibilities program will impact the lives of approximately 1,500 people! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Scope and Impact https://www.futurepossibilities.org/board-member-application daily 0.75 2022-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/543046fa-bc34-4dbc-9a69-c9a40a73ca02/P73A4428_sfwcrop.jpg Board Member Application - “Besides coaching kids, I also find great joy in mentoring or supporting other young professionals” — KidCoach, Board Member https://www.futurepossibilities.org/partners daily 0.75 2022-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/1653618371241-APSYDSYCDEFG9OX05Z1H/cmha_block_460.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/1653618628651-PYDHBRLFFM7EH0XB8OF7/dasco_block_460.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/1653618643708-1XTXGXBWDPMRVN00BX20/encova_block_460.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/1653660903299-YAHUKS2EP4Q8XZD1B753/aep_block_460.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/1653661105649-PCMQJ38D0EIGGUR4FUJX/safelite_block_460.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/1653661196893-KIEHSZLAYXUFHQ2ENE1Q/encova_block_460.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/1653661368157-M1T5W0JFS0O5ECR6NKAM/cmha_block_460.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/1653661387298-46IBU1NFQ89UOK3RC4YO/dasco_block_460.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/1653661884001-TU0KT3PQCW3CAA3UIHMZ/united_way_block_460.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/1653661908141-JLSJIMEWAFST3CTTH3LU/community_shares_block_460.jpg Partners https://www.futurepossibilities.org/in-kind-donations daily 0.75 2022-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274152827c9403b7b50cbc4/d06948d9-efc9-4c41-b592-f7ea58121142/unsplash-image-9OKGEVJiTKk.jpg In-Kind Donations - In-Kind Donations At Future Possibilities, we are proud to provide the best for our Kids.
