About this organization
Mission

About
Since 2004, the Future Foundation of Atlanta has been proving success in its data-driven approach to the eradication of poverty. 100% of youth participating in our program graduate high school on time and go on to enroll in the post-secondary program of their choice. They also have continuing access to the social capital and relationships they formed while in our programs, leading to greater life-long success. Future Foundation is in year two of a five-year federal research study discovering and documenting best-practices within the Second Family Model. Preliminary findings from the first year of the PREIS (initiative revealed that students in the research group showed a greater increase in knowledge of the reduced risk of contracting HIV/AIDS from condom use than students in the control group (Well-Being impact area metric: numbers of residents with chronic diseases, including HIV/AIDS). Future Foundation is also conducting a longitudinal study examining the effectiveness of our work over time. The study confirmed that students who attend programming for multiple consecutive years improved their math and language arts scores at a significantly higher rate than students who attended the program sporadically or for just one academic year. Programmatic Objective 1: Improve academic performance with an emphasis in Language Arts & math?as measured by percentage of students who score Developing, Proficient, or Distinguished Learner as part of the GA Milestones Language Arts assessment (annual). Achieved an average of 55% (Goal: 45%) Programmatic Objective 2: Foster whole child development?as measured by percentage of students who decrease risky behaviors and improve character demonstrated by self-assessment.

Achieved an average of 128% (Goal: 55%)
