Building a Stronger Economy Starts with Education 
Greetings!
The Volusia County economy needs a boost. A high performing school district produces an educated workforce, increased productivity and high tech skills.
That is the goal that the FUTURES Foundation for Volusia County public schools was founded on 25 years ago.
FUTURES support comes from our local business and civic community, whose members make up the FUTURES Board and raise money year round. It comes from the sale of the License for Learning license plate in Volusia County. It comes from those Volusia County schools' employees who donate from every paycheck. It comes through the individual efforts of people from all walks of life right here in Volusia County like you.
Join FUTURES in helping to build a more high performing public school system! |
