Countdown to June 7th, the commencement of our ninth annual college tour. We honor the tradition of visiting Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) to build strong futures for generations to come.
We’re excited to share a podcast episode featuring our organization, led by our incredible co-directors, Monica Banks and Michelle Norrington. In this conversation, they dive into our mission, the impact of our work, and the vision driving us forward.
Momentum like this doesn’t stop — it builds. Let’s keep making futures strong, together. 🚀

We are truly humbled and honored to be recognized by the Newton Chamber of Commerce for the work Building Strong Futures has been doing in our community.
For the past few years, our mission has been centered on exposing students to college campuses, giving them the opportunity to see, experience, and imagine what college life could look like for them. To have those efforts acknowledged with such a prestigious award is both humbling and encouraging.
This recognition only strengthens our commitment. We will continue to do the work, pouring into our students, supporting their dreams, and serving our community with purpose and heart.
Thank you to everyone who believes in this mission and walks alongside us. The future is being built, one student at a time. 💙✨
