Erin Lewellen on Purpose, Possibility, and Investing in the Next Generation
What happens when an organization puts purpose at the center of every decision it makes? In a recent interview with Authority Magazine, Tilting Futures CEO Erin Lewellen reflects on the experiences that shaped her leadership journey and the conviction that has guided her work for more than two decades: that young people are capable of far more than the world often expects of them.
The conversation explores what it means to stay grounded in mission while growing for impact, and why expanding access to life-changing experiences for young people is an investment not only in individual lives, but in our collective future.
Erin’s reflections offer a powerful reminder that meaningful change begins when we invest in human potential and create opportunities for young people to thrive, lead, and shape what comes next.

About Tilting Futures
Tilting Futures prepares young people to lead change in a complex world by developing the capacities that make connection across difference possible. Since 2010, the organization has served more than 3,000 students. Its flagship program, Take Action Lab, is an accredited, semester-length program built on an evidence-backed curriculum that develops the durable skills employers, higher education, and civic institutions increasingly recognize as foundational, including agency, self-awareness, perspective-taking, communication across difference, sense of belonging, and the orientation toward purposeful action. Alongside its direct program work, Tilting Futures’ systems change work is focused on making this kind of intentional capacity development a standard feature of how we prepare young people for adulthood, in their communities, in college, and in career. Tilting Futures is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
