It's all connected!

Climate change. Population growth. Poverty. Environmental degradation. Conflict. Global health crises. Intractable global problems? We don’t think so. At Facing the Future we believe in the transformative power of widespread, systemic education to improve lives and communities, both locally and globally. Our positive, solutions-based programming is designed by and for teachers, and effectively brings critical thinking about global issues to students in every walk of life. We work within the education system to help teachers help students achieve academic success, while preparing them to create and maintain positive, healthy and sustainability communities. We provide curriculum, teacher workshops, and service learning opportunities used by teachers, schools, and districts in all 50 states and over 50 countries. By 2020, Facing the Future programming will reach over 12.5 million students each year. Read more...
