ABOUT US > LETTER TO PARENTS
Thank
you for taking the time to learn about FuturePoint and our
passion for empowering the youth of our world community. We
know that being a teen and raising a teen can be challenging,
and we want you both to succeed! We want your teen understand
how to marry their passion with purpose, to excel in
their studies, and in their relationships with others
and themselves.
The
world young people are growing up in today is very different,
and many of the realities of the past are simply memories of
our current culture. Having one job for 40 years then moving
on to retirement is nearly non-existent in today? world.
Our
world is changing, and it? changing quickly. A teen today
has more information bombarding their senses everyday than the
average teenager of 20 years ago would experience in perhaps
an entire year.
Today?
youth are searching desperately for direction, and we are
seeing something with this generation of teenagers that we
have never experienced before in our country? history. They
are interested in finding and developing a life? purpose,
understanding how to live with intention, and aren? the least
bit interested in ?oing things simply for the sake of doing
things. They clearly have passion, but sometimes have a hard
time figuring out what to be passionate about.
Our
programs help young people learn how to become their own
guides, so that they can navigate themselves successfully
through these times of change.
We look forward to serving you and your family,
Keith O'Brien
Executive Director
