Developing Future is a community service organization working to create opportunities that help refugees, asylum seekers, youth, and underserved communities to build skills, strengthen livelihoods, and move towards a better future.
Developing Future focuses on four core program areas that connect people with information, skills, resources, and opportunities. Our programs support refugees and asylum seekers, strengthen underserved communities, expand education and livelihood opportunities, and help young people prepare for meaningful futures.
Helping refugees and asylum seekers rebuild their lives in the United States with dignity and purpose through access to information, community resources, practical skills, and support.
Creating opportunities that strengthen individuals, families, and underserved communities through capacity building, participation, practical resources, and pathways toward greater self-reliance.
Providing education, workforce training, language skills, and practical learning opportunities that help individuals build confidence, access employment, and improve their livelihoods.
Helping young people develop their capabilities, strengthen essential skills, build leadership experience, and prepare for education, careers, and meaningful participation in their communities and society.
Sometimes people don't need someone to change their lives for them. They need an opportunity — the right information, skills, resources, support, and pathway to move forward with confidence.
We listen to community needs, create practical opportunities, build skills through education and training, and empower people to develop confidence, independence, and stronger futures.
We listen to individuals, families, and communities to understand their needs, challenges, goals, and opportunities for meaningful growth.
We develop practical ideas, programs, and opportunities that respond to community needs and help people access meaningful pathways forward.
We provide education, training, practical skills, and knowledge that help individuals build confidence and prepare for greater economic and social opportunities.
We support people as they develop confidence, independence, and the ability to make informed decisions and take meaningful steps toward their future.
We work toward lasting impact by helping strengthen individuals, families, and communities and creating pathways toward stronger, more sustainable futures.
Our impact is measured not only by numbers, but by the people we reach, the skills we help develop, and the opportunities we help create. Every training program and community initiative is a step toward greater confidence, independence, and opportunity.
Women have gained practical sewing and vocational skills designed to support greater confidence, independence, and access to income-generating opportunities.
Young people have received support to develop practical skills, strengthen their capabilities, and prepare for education, employment, and future opportunities.
Individuals and families are connected with information, resources, skills, and opportunities that can help them move forward with greater confidence and purpose.
Our education, skills training, and community initiatives create practical pathways toward empowerment, self-reliance, and stronger communities.
Our values guide how Developing Future works with individuals, families, and communities. They shape our commitment to dignity, inclusion, opportunity, equality, and meaningful participation.
01
We put respect for every person first, recognizing the dignity, experiences, and perspectives each individual brings to the community.
02
We value cultural, racial, and religious diversity and work to create welcoming spaces where everyone feels respected, included, and supported.
03
We believe every person has the potential to create positive change when they have access to information, skills, resources, and opportunities.
04
We believe gender equality is an essential part of sustainable development and work to expand access to meaningful opportunities for everyone.
05
We encourage people to participate, contribute, and take ownership because meaningful involvement helps create stronger and lasting change.
Behind every program is a person with a story, a goal, and the potential to create a better future.
“Before joining the program, I did not have the skills or confidence to pursue this opportunity. The training helped me learn, grow, and believe that I could build something for myself.”
