Give students the tools and network they need to create meaningful change
Each generation is defined by the challenges they overcome. Today, young people are eager to make their mark on issues like climate and human rights, but too often feel isolated, anxious, and overwhelmed by the scale of these challenges. The narrow scripted path leaves little room for developing agency, empathy, solidarity, and hope — the tools they want and need to influence the future.

CLARITY & PERSPECTIVE
Our Immersive Learning Programs equip students with emotional and intellectual skills to make a fulfilling future. Students graduate with a strong sense of who they are, a new perspective on the world, and a clear vision of what they’re capable of achieving within it.

Collaborate with higher education institutions to amplify influence and accessibility.
It’s harder than ever for higher education institutions to adapt to the rapidly changing demands of the future. At the same time, Immersive Learning Programs like ours can’t meet demand fast enough if we’re scaling on our own.

INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIPS
At Tilting Futures we partner with institutions across the world to provide the experiences young people crave and the skills the future demands. As a nimble nonprofit, we’re able to serve as an innovation lab for higher education partners looking to enhance their curricula.
Plus, with every institution that offers credit, scholarships, or federal student loans, we achieve even greater equitable global access.
