I was fortunate enough to come in contact with the gentlemen that run this organization and immediately sprang into action to get involved. In addition to a preview event this Wednesday at the Graham Hotel rooftop, DPAF is on track to raise funds for their programming that will directly influence a shift in career placement for millennials.

The mission of David Pattinson’s American Future (dpaf) is to solve the Great Youth Depression by creating a career planning system, where educational qualifications directly result in financially independent young professionals. It’s time to challenge an educational establishment graduating 50% of students into unemployment or underemployment and that results in 25 million adult children living in their parents homes. Rather than promote a one dimensional solution, dpaf will provide the conduit for businesses, universities, local and national governments, as well as young people themselves to properly prepare for and navigate the workforce.

Definitely look into this organization and get involved at one of their upcoming events: 

Wednesday, Sept 18th:  VIP Reception at The Graham Hotel rooftop
Friday, Oct 4th:  The Future of America Gala at the Homer Building
