OUR PROGRAMS
Our programs have been meticulously crafted and successfully implemented and piloted at host sites across several US regions, and in the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Founded by entertainment industry professionals Bonnie Milner and Mark Files Schwaller, the programs not only nurture the creative potential of young people, they also inspire and empower young people and their peers to become change agents addressing environmental and community issues that matter most to them.
This year RFUTURE is working with two leading educational and environmental organizations. With funding, we plan to expand our reach and create custom RFUTURE experiences for Indigenous young people in Lahaina, South Dakota and in East L.A., both directly suffering from recent and ongoing systemic racism and environmental injustice.
OUR LEAD PROGRAM
RVOICE RVISION utilizes the RFUTURE METHODOLOGY to empower and uplift the voice of youth through creative experiences using their original music and media to drive environmental awareness and action worldwide.
RFUTURE METHODOLOGY™
The RFUTURE METHODOLOGY provides a space for students to openly express their thoughts, aspirations, and concerns about their communities and the world, particularly in the context of the climate and environmental challenges they face. At the heart of this approach is the concept of quantum listening. Our team attentively and empathetically listens and supports the students to shape their thoughts and emotions into meaningful music. With the guidance of music mentors, we empower them to share their music and voices with the world, fostering confidence and providing a platform for their creativity.
2024 PARTNER PROGRAMS
