Partnership for the Future (PFF) is a college preparation and youth employment program that spans over three consecutive summers and two academic years.  Participants from PFF’s Partner High Schools apply as tenth-graders, beginning the program the following summer.

The program is a seven-week summer session during which participants work four days per week with one of PFF’s Business Sponsors and spend the fifth day in personal development classes, college tours, and community service.  During the academic year, PFF students participate in college prep and personal development workshops two to four times per month, meet with PFF staff for individual mentoring, and have the opportunity to participate in overnight college visits.

PFF held its first summer session in 1995 with 12 students and three business sponsors—Markel Corporation, S&K Famous Brands, and Best Products. 

In season 2005-2006, PFF served close to 150 students working with over 80 Business Sponsors alongside our Patron Sponsors and College/University Partners.
