Values

What We Believe

The Powerful Futures Initiative has the long-term vision of a vibrant, healthy youth community in Dickinson that connects to the larger economy, providing a willing and able teen workforce and eventually creating greater job opportunities for local residents as these youth matriculate into successful careers that allow them to give back to their community.

Generational Wealth Creation is at the heart of this project, so these young people must be able to understand and manage their finances. We hear too many stories of how young athletes and entertainers in particular reach the end of their careers deeply in debt. We believe that training in Financial Literacy is essential to developing GEN D.
