SUPERCHARGING STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND

annual event

2022 Supercharged Gala

We look forward to seeing you at Futures Ignite’s 2022 Gala on May 18 at Midtown Loft and Terrace where we will celebrate ten years of impact and look towards the next decade, and we would love the pleasure of your company.

You will get to meet Futures Ignite students, alumni, staff, board members, and honoree Elaine Rocha, Chief Investment Officer at AIG, Peggy Shepard, Co-Founder and Executive Director of WE ACT for Environmental Justice and Anthony (Tony) Curtis, Partner (retired) at PwC.

The evening will be an inspiring event that lifts up our young people and celebrates our vibrant community of supporters.

We’re here because we believe in the power of every young person. Through a whole-school model, we instill a future-forward mindset in NYC public school students to support them to propel their college and career futures. We believe all students deserve access to robust opportunities that set them up for success, and that by addressing racial justice, educational disparities, and climate justice, we can achieve the strongest impact.

Our name has changed to reflect the expansion of our mission and work: we’re committed to supercharging student opportunities and ensuring BIPOC students in New York City have access to abundant resources and personalized counseling throughout high school and beyond. Our relationship to the school that founded our organization remains strong, and drives us to enhance our impact at WHEELS as we prepare to expand to other NYC public high schools in the coming years.
