Make the Greatest Impact in College and Your Career.
A small set of skills and attributes have the highest impact on your future career success—and they are not developed in conventional schooling. Bright, intrepid pioneers come to Futures Forge to rapidly develop skills in teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, communication, motivation, adaptability, grit, and self-driven learning. Employers and college recruiters look for these skills to select from among the brightest applicants.
Futures Forge’s on-site programs assemble talented, motivated teams of students to grow and learn the skills they need to perform. Our learning approach uses relevant, project-driven, hands-on challenges that prepare students to deliver outstanding work at college, in internships, and as they start their career.
Are you smart, motivated, voraciously curious, and ready to break the mold to accelerate, stand out in college and internship applications, make an outsized impact at work on day one, and excel in your life? If so, we invite you to join us.

Our Founders Know What it Takes to Win.
Futures Forge’s founders have been innovators in developing young talent for decades, as top-destination employers. We know what top employers look for, and how to successfully develop it:
Nat Greene founded Stroud International in 2001, and led it as CEO, winning Best Small Consulting Firm in America 7 out of 8 years. Stroud recruits exclusively from top-10 universities in the US, UK, and Canada, accepting 3% of applicants. Stroud’s talent management system spins off dozens of executives and company founders, typically leading large organizations at very young ages.
Erik Fogg (MIT undergrad/masters) has led 3 venture-backed startups, founding two, and bringing one to exit after raising $25M and growing to nearly 60 employees. Erik’s “founder factory” growth and coaching system within ProdPerfect led to 3 new tech startups spinning off in the two years before exit.
Backed by Science: Erik is also an academic and deep researcher. In addition to employing our innovations and lessons from industry, our curriculum and pedagogy use proven methods from educational psychology and neuroscience. Through our system of Catalytic Learning, we foster deep engagement and help students internalize the critical skills they need to succeed in any future environment. Our students repeatedly share that they learned more in 2 weeks at Futures Forge than in 2 years at school.

An Unmatched Growth Experience
Futures Forge inspires and empowers students to teach themselves, and each other, the skills, capabilities, and tools to understand and lead themselves and others, take responsibility in life and the world, think critically, and solve hard problems.
Futures Forge provides objectives and direction, core material, structure, community, guidance and coaching, and starting framework to build the skills needed to effectively learn quickly: much of the direct learning will come through interactions with fellow students in your section.
