Partnership for the Future

Partnership for the Future Partnership for the Future is a college access and success organization celebrating 30 years of impacting the Richmond community.

Students are at the center of what we do at Partnership for the Future. Through PFF, local high school students are provided with college prep courses, personal development workshops, one-on-one counseling and savings incentives. With the help of our business and university partners, we arrange college visits and workplace internships for our students to help them easily transition from high schoo

l to college to the workplace. Partnership for the Future operates the largest and most accomplished privately-funded workforce development-college preparatory program in the Commonwealth of Virginia. No other program offers the same breadth of services:

*Job skills training such as Toastmasters and Microsoft Certification
*Paid internships at area businesses
*Financial aid through matching grants and scholarships
*Assistance in selecting the right college and preparing applications

Working hand in hand with our students, our dedicated staff and generous partners provide the training, workshops, events and internships that help our students prepare for college and the workplace. We invite you to partner with us as we change lives and change the future.

Today, on Juneteenth, we celebrate and honor a legacy of freedom, resilience, and the power of opportunity.

As we reflect on this important day, we're also reminded that exactly one month ago, on May 19, we gathered at The Jefferson Hotel for our inaugural Igniting Futures Breakfast.

The morning was a powerful celebration of possibility, bringing together supporters, community leaders, corporate partners, volunteers, alumni, students, and friends who share a belief that every student deserves the opportunity to thrive.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to:�
- Our generous presenting sponsor, TowneBank.�
- The dedicated team at The Jefferson Hotel for their outstanding hospitality.�
- Our inspiring speakers who shared their stories.�
- Our staff and volunteers whose hard work made the event possible.�
- And every guest who joined us and invested in the futures of our students.

One month later, we remain inspired by the energy in the room and the collective commitment to igniting futures for generations to come.

Thank you for believing in our students. Thank you for investing in their potential. Thank you for helping us create opportunities that change lives.

We are proud to recognize two outstanding PFF collegiate students who are making the most of incredible opportunities this summer!

👏 Quinlen Lambert (Morehouse College) is serving with the Operations Team for NFX through the generous support of the Gilbert Family Foundation 2026 Summer Internship Program. This experience will provide valuable hands-on learning, professional development, and exposure to large-scale event operations.

👏 Kenneth Brandon (Old Dominion University) was selected for the highly competitive 2026 Governor's Fellows Program, joining a cohort of exceptional students from across Virginia for an immersive experience in state government, public service, and policymaking. Kenneth was chosen from a record-breaking pool of applicants and will spend the summer working alongside leaders in Virginia's executive branch.

Join us in congratulating Kenneth and Quinlen on these remarkable achievements!

A day at the Virginia State Capitol!

Our students traded the classroom for the Commonwealth's center of government and what a day it was. They took a guided tour of the historic Virginia State Capitol, explored the powerful monuments surrounding the grounds, and even got to meet and speak with VA State Senator Lamont Bagby.

A powerful reminder that their voices matter, and that leadership is within their reach.

Thank you to Senator Bagby for taking the time to inspire the next generation of leaders!

These incredible PFF students earned their associate degrees from Reynolds Community College while still in high school. Many maintained a B average or higher, completed rigorous college coursework, and earned more than 15 transferable college credits, qualifying for the Governor’s Early College Scholars designation.

We are proud to celebrate these students and the determination they’ve shown in balancing both high school and college-level success. Their achievements reflect the power of opportunity, support, and perseverance.

None of it happens by accident. It happens because a community of believers shows up. We'd love to see you at the table.
