Institute For The Future

Youth Leaders Make the Future

On June 16 from 8am-1pm, Institute for the Future and the Center for Creative Leadership will host a Train-the-Trainers module on Futures Thinking, designed for those who work with young people on leadership and self-development.  Registration is now open!

Participants will be immersed in two portions of a Futures Thinking toolkit module.  

The first step, Knowing the Future, will expose participants to research about opportunities and challenges that youth will face in the next decade.

The second step, Leading the Future, aims to build futures thinking capabilities so that young people have more tools for responding to the future and for making better decisions in the present.

Who should attend?:

• Non-profit organizations focused on youth
• Educational institutions
• Community organizations
• Teachers and principals
• Youth group leaders
• Non-profits with student interns
• Peer mentors

This prototype module for Futures Thinking, designed for those who work with youth, is being facilitated for the first time ever in collaboration with the Center for Creative Leadership's Leadership Beyond Boundaries program.

The module will follow at the end of a three day Train-the-Trainers workshop facilitated by the Center for Creative Leadership at Institute for the Future in Palo Alto, CA.

For registration information, please contact Joan Bello ([email protected]).  Priority for attendance at the June 16 Futures Thinking module will be given to attendees of the full Train-the-Trainers workshop by the Center for Creative Leadership, June 13-15.
