Proposal for Future You Program in New York City Schools

Our initiative, The Future You Program is a proposal for a contract to be provided in New York City schools directly, as well as through extracurricular activities. The program is designed to address a range of challenges that students face, including a lack of leadership foundations in the local neighborhoods, uncertainty about future career prospects, and limited access to resources and opportunities.

Problem

Many young people in New York City lack the guidance and support they need to navigate the complex landscape of education and career development. They may struggle to find mentors, role models, or programs that help them explore their interests and pursue their goals. Additionally, the rapid pace of change in the business world can be overwhelming, leaving many students feeling uncertain about their future prospects.

The Future You Program, developed by UPG.Social, aims to empower students with the knowledge, tools, and network they need to succeed. The program offers a digital wealth focus, encouraging communication between students and parents, and is available in multiple languages. Additionally, the program will have its own digital twin, connected to the Unified City network, providing a unique learning experience.

Proposal

We propose a partnership with the New York City public school system to provide the Future You Program directly in schools and through extra-curricular activities. We request funding to cover the cost of program implementation, subject matter expert engagement, and equipment to support program delivery. Our team will work closely with schools to ensure program success and monitor the impact on students.

As of the 2021-2022 school year, there were roughly 213,000 students enrolled in grades 6-8 (junior high school) in the New York City public school system. We have analyzed our program deliverables and calculated the price per student in Junior High, which is presented in the table below:

Conclusion

As we have seen, there is a pressing need for leadership and guidance in the local neighborhoods to provide opportunities for youth. The lack of certainty regarding future careers is also a major concern, as many students are unaware of the future of business and jobs due to changes in technology advancements. To address these issues, we propose the implementation of UPG.Social Future You Program in New York City schools.

Our goal is to help students develop a growth mindset and prepare them for the future of work. We believe that investing in youth is crucial for the economic and social success of our communities. We hope that our proposal will receive careful consideration, and we look forward to partnering with the New York City public school system to make a meaningful impact on the lives of young people.
