Jobs for the Future believes that all young people should have a quality high school and postsecondary education, and that all adults should have the skills needed to hold jobs that pay enough to support a family. As a nonprofit research, consulting, and advocacy organization, JFF works to strengthen our society by creating educational and economic opportunity for those who need it most.

• All young people make a successful transition to adulthood. By age 26, they obtain a strong high school education and an advanced educational credential.

• All adults have the education and skills they need to get and keep a job—and to advance in a family-supporting career.

• The nation has a workforce that meets the demands of a changing global economy.

Our Work

Through partnerships with states and communities, national and local foundations, and other organizations, JFF accelerates opportunities for people to advance in education and careers through:

• Practical, on-the-ground projects: We develop effective models for helping youth and adults acquire the skills that employers require.
