The Organization
ABOUT BROADFUTURES
Our Mission is to celebrate neurodiversity by creating access, cultivating skills, and revolutionizing the workplace for all.
Our Vision is an inclusive workplace where all people have an equal opportunity to thrive.
BroadFutures is revolutionizing the way young, neurodivergent people enter the workforce through an innovative training, mentoring, and paid internship program. We are the only program of our kind in the country. Young, neurodivergent people remain underserved, underrepresented, unsupported by government programs, and at significant risk for failing out of school and not successfully entering the workforce. This need forms the basis of our model and mission to provide access to opportunities and individualized support to ensure young, neurodivergent people reach their potential. In doing so, we also provide employers with a vetted, trained, and motivated talent pool. Since our incorporation in 2013, we have served more than 270 young people directly and hundreds more through our community outreach. We have partnered with over 60 employers, working side by side with our employers to ensure successful internships.
