Here’s what participants are saying:

＂Throughout the journey of Future Story, I learned more about myself, and my relationship with my mom really improved. Through a series of self-investigations, and learning what God has offered me, I have been able to recognize my gifts, my purpose and my potential. Future Story has given me the tools to remove the chaos in every category of my life. It helped me realize what I want to do with my life!＂

-Sara, Future Story Graduate

＂I’m better off financially now. Before, I never had money whenever something unexpected came up. Now I have a savings so those things aren’t so stressful!＂

- Nancy, Future Story Graduate

＂What has Future Story done for me? I made a lot of friends. They loved me just how I was, even while I was really struggling. I didn’t feel alone anymore. Seeing the courage of others in my group to be open to change helped me finally take the steps I needed to take. I’m so thankful for Future Story! It has changed my life!＂

-James, Future Story Graduate
