About us
Our small team of 9 are the permanent staff that keep the FutureMe wheels turning and work hard to develop and deliver all of the programmes and events we run through the year. We are all passionate about our roles in helping young people find their purpose and place in the world beyond school.
Engage & Connect was an ultimate success. Every speaker I listened to today motivated me one way or another. I am way more driven than before. I HAVE FOUND MY WHY!
FutureMe helped me to discover myself, know more about other career choices and it has amazing people who keep us going. The stories shared with us and hearing each and everyone giving us advice about the future. On how we have to be positive about the future. FutureMe has truly made it easy to connect with professionals.
I am in awe of your passion and dedication. To see learners who do not usually interact in class speak up and contribute in your classes … WOW! FutureMe provided me the opportunity to get to know my learners on a different level and to get to know what inspires them and what they are passionate about. I was able to use this to get them more involved in my Natural Science class as well. They have grown in confidence and have more direction in life thanks to your amazing work.
I really love what FutureMe stands for, the idea of empowering the youth to make a better tomorrow. it perfectly embodies my ideas of what true success for the country should be. I would actually like to be part FutureMe one day.
I enjoyed it and I learned that I have to work hard as possible to became what I want to be in life but if I don’t exceed there’s always an option to work in other institutions and I enjoyed it so much it was a nice opportunity.
