The future isn't something that arrives one day. It's being shaped right now by the decisions we
make, the opportunities we create and the people we choose to support. We invest in young changemakers because tomorrow's solutions begin with today's
actions.

There will always be people who question new ideas.
Fortunately, there will always be people bold enough to pursue them anyway.
Every meaningful change begins the same way: someone chooses to challenge what's possible, solve a problem or build something better. Whether that's advancing science, strengthening communities, launching a new idea or creating opportunities for others, progress always starts with someone willing to take the first step.
At the Weis Family Foundation, those are the people we believe in.
The innovators. The entrepreneurs. The advocates. The scientists. The community builders.
Because the future doesn't simply happen. It's built by people bold enough to imagine something better and determined enough to make it real.

Landing an opportunity often starts with one document.
That's why the Weis Family Foundation is launching a free Resume Review Program.
Whether you're applying for your first job, a skilled trade, university, graduate school or your next career opportunity, our volunteer mentors will provide practical feedback to help strengthen your resume and improve your confidence before you apply.
Sometimes a few thoughtful suggestions can make all the difference.

Every changemaker has a story.
Austin Varco's story is one of resilience, courage and action.
Rather than allowing obstacles to define him, Austin has used his experiences to advocate, educate and create meaningful conversations around neurodiversity and inclusion.
At the Weis Family Foundation, we're proud to support changemakers like Austin who are willing to share their voice, challenge assumptions and help create a better future for others.
Because meaningful change doesn't begin with perfect circumstances. It begins when someone decides to take action.

Mental health affects millions of people and their families, yet many questions about how the brain works remain unanswered.
That's why the Weis Family Foundation is proud to support the groundbreaking neuroscience research being conducted by two talented young scientists at the University of San Diego.
By investing in emerging researchers and innovative scientific work, we're investing in the people bold enough to pursue the next breakthrough.
Progress begins with research. Change begins with people willing to pursue it.

There is no shortage of important causes in the world. Our focus is on something that sits at the
root of lasting change: people. The Weis Family Foundation invests in future leaders, innovators,
problem-solvers and community builders because we believe empowering people creates impact
that continues long after a single project or donation. We aren't simply funding outcomes. We're
helping shape the people who create them.

A great mentor doesn't just answer questions.
They ask the right ones.
We're excited to welcome Mike as Director of Mentorship at the Weis Family Foundation.
Throughout his career, Mike has mentored more than 100 undergraduate and graduate students, helping them navigate everything from technical writing and project management to career planning, networking, interview preparation and long-term professional growth.
His passion for developing future leaders is exactly why he's joined our mission.
Because changemakers don't just need opportunities. They need people willing to help them realize what's possible.
Welcome, Mike.

Every day, young people have ideas that could improve communities, solve problems and shape a better future. Most never move beyond the idea stage.
At the Weis Family Foundation, we support the next generation of changemakers. The innovators, builders, problem-solvers and leaders who are willing to step forward, take action and turn possibility into progress.
Because real change doesn't come from ideas alone. It comes from people brave enough to pursue them.

Every young person deserves the opportunity to discover what they're capable of.
For thousands of students from historically underserved communities, Ocean Discovery Institute is doing exactly that through hands-on science education, environmental exploration and long-term mentorship.
Their work doesn't just introduce young people to STEM. It helps build confidence, curiosity and the belief that they can help solve tomorrow's biggest challenges.
That's exactly the kind of changemaking the Weis Family Foundation believes in.
We're proud to support organizations that invest in people long before the world sees their potential.

07/10/2026

Every major breakthrough began with a question. What if? Why not? How can we do this better?
Curiosity has always been one of humanity's greatest drivers of progress. That's why the Weis Family Foundation is passionate about supporting young people pursuing science, technology,
learning and discovery. Because today's questions often become tomorrow's solutions.
