FUTURE PERFECT PROJECT INC

GENERAL PROGRAM - OUR APPROACH ENCOMPASSES TWO MAIN PATHWAYS: DIRECT INTERACTION AND BROADCASTING VIA MEDIA PROJECTS. TRACKING THE NUMBER OF CLIENTS SERVED ANNUALLY PRIMARILY ALIGNS WITH OUR PROGRAMS INVOLVING DIRECT INTERACTION. DIRECT INTERACTION: SINCE OUR INCEPTION, WE'VE MADE OVER 100 VISITS TO LGBTQ+ CENTERS AND SCHOOLS ACROSS 23 STATES. TO BALANCE OUR FOCUS ON PRODUCTION PROJECTS, WE NOW CONDUCT 5-10 IN-PERSON WORKSHOPS NATIONWIDE ANNUALLY, WITH PARTICIPANT NUMBERS RANGING FROM 10-30 PEOPLE, TOTALING UP TO 300 PARTICIPANTS YEARLY. ADDITIONALLY, OUR ONLINE NETWORK OF OVER 400 ACTIVE MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN OUR FREE ONLINE PROGRAMMING, INCLUDING WRITER'S ROOM, A BI-MONTHLY CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOP FOR WRITERS AGES 13-19. OUR ETHOS REVOLVES AROUND DEPTH RATHER THAN BREADTH; WE PRIORITIZE DEEP CONNECTIONS AND EXTENDED ENGAGEMENT, ALLOWING YOUNG PEOPLE TO CULTIVATE THEIR WORK, FORGE CONNECTIONS, AND MAXIMIZE THEIR CREATIVE IMPACT. OUR PROGRAMMING IS INCLUSIVE AND FREE, CATERING TO LGBTQIA+ YOUTH, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO FACE BARRIERS TO ACCESSING THE ARTS OR SAFE SPACES FOR SELF-EXPRESSION. WE FOCUS ON SERVING MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING QUEER AND TRANS YOUTH, LOW-INCOME YOUTH, AND THOSE RESIDING IN REGIONS MARKED BY HOMOPHOBIA AND ANTI-LGBTQIA+ LEGISLATION. BY OFFERING BOTH VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON PROGRAMMING GLOBALLY, WE DISMANTLE GEOGRAPHIC AND FINANCIAL OBSTACLES, PROVIDING YOUTH WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT WITH FELLOW CREATIVES AND BUILD A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY OF VISIONARY QUEER ARTISTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR LOCATION OR FINANCIAL MEANS.

IS BACK FOR MORE. IN SEASON 2, WE'RE DIVING EVEN DEEPER INTO THE WORLD OF LGBTQIA+ CULTURE AND TAKING A LOOK AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF QUEERNESS AND DISABILITY, NEURODIVERGENCE, GENDER, AND GEOGRAPHY. YOU WILL HEAR FROM A DISABILITY JUSTICE SCHOLAR, A QUEER BUSINESS OWNER ADOPTING A 'NON-BINARY BUSINESS MODEL, AND OF COURSE, QUEER YOUTH OF TODAY AS WE CARRY YOU THROUGH VULNERABLE DISCUSSIONS, INTERVIEWS, AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL WRITING, ORIGINAL MUSIC, AND SO MUCH MORE.
