What Is It?
Connected Futures is an evidence-based curriculum designed to help students form meaningful connections with supportive, non-parental adults in their lives. From teachers, to coaches, to extended family members, and beyond, these adults are a critical resource for students’ engagement and success. Students learn why mentors might be helpful to them, and are also equipped with skills to actually build and grow their social networks.

How it Works
Each student creates a profile, and is then directed to the appropriate curriculum for their educational stage. The curriculum is presented over the course of four, interactive online lessons, and takes about two hours in total to complete. As they progress through the lessons, students build up a “toolbox” of skills and resources that are theirs to keep.
