“It's a place where we can express our ideas and our creativity to build things like a hot cocoa machine, or we can do city planning. We can express the ideas that we might have in a productive and creative space where there's enough support that you can do all those things.” - William, age 10

Five years ago, a small storefront at the end of our street became available for the first time in 75 years. One family business closed its doors—and another began. Since then, Into the Future has evolved into a learning organization helping more than 1,000 young people a year unleash their power as builders and creators.

We are raising $40,000 to support our PLAY, LEARN, BUILD educational model and philosophy for creative spaces and experiences to take place in schools and community settings that do not have the resources to support this work on their own.

PLAY. LEARN. BUILD. all year round includes:

• A complete set of Wonder Widgets, our hands-on toys and magnets for creative PLAY and exploration.

• Access to FutureTime- to LEARN about the past, present and future through interactive games and quizzes.

• Hands on materials to physically BUILD 3D models of the futuristic objects and places kids imagine.

Plus, ongoing support and a big, fun event for kids and families to engage in building together.

With your contribution, we can expand year-round in schools and community settings like PS 172 and The League Education and Treatment Center in Brooklyn, and Restoration Ministries in Racine, Wisconsin.

Together we’re building a community where young people with different perspectives and backgrounds can imagine, design, and shape our collective future. We believe in their power to create what comes next.

We are incredibly grateful for you and our entire community of support.   We would not be where we are today without you. Thank you for helping us activate a community of builders as we move Into the Future.

With appreciation,
Garry and Ann
