Future 5 celebrates move to new home with Ribbon Cutting Ceremony


Mayor Caroline Simmons and other community partners turned out to join Future 5 staff, board members and coaches on February 11th to commemorate the move to our new headquarters at 4 Landmark Square. With 50% more space, the new location will accommodate more programming, a 13% annual increase in high school members, pods for additional one-on-one tutoring and coaching, and a new College & Workforce Development Center -- all supporting a lasting foundation for our mission and community!

Wave 41 "Here to There" Welcomes 26 New Members!

With the help of our rockstar coaches, we've kicked off the next wave of "Here to There," the initial workshop that introduces students to Future 5 and helps them connect to their inner character through a practical guide on how to get from "here" to "there." At the end of the workshop, each student officially becomes an official Future 5 member with access to tutors, our signature College Prep program, community service, career connections, enrichment opportunities, student ambassador leadership roles and more.

"Brainwave" gets us Thinking about the World!

Brainwave, Future 5's weekly current events workshop, created and presented by our founder, Clif McFeely, challenges students to think about life around the world and outside of the box. From Grammy fashions to education privilege, last week's Brainwave sparked conversations about self-expression, the impact of tariffs, the Panama Canal and the Super Bowl. Congratulations to our prize winners who are working hard to stay on top of the news!

Homework Help isn't just about tackling tough assignments

Whether it's preparing for a big test or getting through a tricky math problem, our dedicated tutors provide students with thoughtful and personalized guidance each step of the way. And Homework Help is much more -- it's also about building confidence, staying on track and planning ahead to build success. With 371 hours of academic support provided last year, our students are thriving!

Future 5 helps connect motivated, under-resourced students in Stamford to the people and resources they need to achieve their educational, career and life goals.
