Our Vision

Fund for the Future of our Children (FFC) envisions today’s youth as tomorrow’s leaders for peace. Our mission is to nurture those future leaders.

FFC trusts deeply in the creative vision of youth. We see our role as supporting young dedicated visionaries who are already taking on the “mission impossible” task of creating a peaceful world.

Highlighting human diversity and children’s creative talents, FFC has built on collaborations with organizations committed to developing non-violent expression, global interaction and cross-cultural understanding among children and youth.
