What is Prepare the Future?

Mission

Prepare the Future is rekindling hope among ordinary citizens in America by calling on widely shared values of fairness, trust, responsibility, and strong, caring communities to ensure a quality public education. Because the quality of a child's education is pivotal to all aspects of a child's life and future, our first priority is to ensure a quality public education for all children that each of us wants for our own children and grandchildren.

Objective

Our goal is to create a permanent advocacy infrastructure in communities and states across the nation with sophisticated, staffed, and well-funded on-the-ground and on line capacity. This advocacy infrastructure will ensure that policy impacting children at the local, state, and national levels:

  • Reflects our core values of fairness, trust and responsibility and strong, caring communities;
  • Ensures that the academic achievement and promotion/graduation of rates of students is improved overall; and
  • Narrows the achievement gap at a pace that will virtually eliminate it within one student generation.
