Transformative ideas and practices that position communities for success

The Young Futurists Project

The Young Futurist project is a youth-driven, innovation hub impacting the culture of health through technology, social solutions, and creativity. Using the S.T.E.A.M. approach, YFP seeks to provide training to students in workforce development as well as foundational and personal skills. YFP primarily serves youth ages 13-18 in-person and ages 8-18 virtually and supports youth technologists, creative innovators, and advocates with skills to address current and future emerging issues. The program was launched in January 2020 at the Jackson Medical Mall.

Prophetic Innovation

Prophetic Innovation (PI) combines religious and non-religious practices for social justice and amplifying marginalized voices. It involves culturally rooted traditions, while innovation in PI focuses on breakthrough ideas and community creativity, impacting society collectively.
