Mission: To provide programs to low-income, high-risk children and youth, ages 8 to 14, from under-served communities that will challenge and inspire them to reach higher, achieve more and learn how to create their own possibilities, both now and in the future.

Results: Future Possibilities, Inc. was founded in 1994 by Lorraine White in New York City and is currently headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. More than 2,500 children from various boroughs of New York and the inner city of Columbus have graduated from our program and applied their newly developed life skills to make a positive difference in their communities. This unique coaching organization has since expanded into Toronto, Ontario, and most recently to Sydney, Australia. The organization has no paid staff and is run by an active Board of Directors guiding a structured committee system of volunteers. We are the proud recipient of the “Golden Ruler Award” presented by the Columbus Board of Education as the best partnership between the public city schools and the local business community.
