Andrew Mangino and The Future Project, Activating Students as Agents for Change
Andrew Mangino cofounded The Future Project in 2011, and has since been instrumental in augmenting the organization's reach and impact in the spheres of education and community development. The Future Project has expanded into 50 high schools across the country in seven states, engaging 25,000 students to not only realize their passions but also to pursue them and solve problems that affect their families, friends, communities, cities and society as a whole. Appointed Dream Directors immerse themselves in school communities, acting as catalysts for change and re-imagining schools as environments not only for academic learning, but as places where students learn how to live the best lives possible.
