Future Leaders Movement
About Us
Future Leaders Movement is a nonprofit that helps talented, driven professionals access the coaching, tools, and support they need to grow their careers and step into roles they’ve long been excluded from.
​
We focus on individuals who have the skills and ambition to lead—but haven’t had the same access to guidance, networks, or career-defining opportunities. Through personalized coaching and targeted career support, we help close that gap and accelerate professional growth where it’s long overdue.
​
We're not just preparing people for leadership, we’re helping them get hired, promoted, and recognized for what they already bring to the table.
What We Do
We equip emerging leaders with personalized career support designed to accelerate growth, increase earning potential, and open doors to meaningful opportunities. Our grant-funded program offers a 3–6 month experience focused on one-on-one coaching, job search tools, and practical career strategy.
​
We work with individuals from all backgrounds who have faced barriers to advancement—not because of a lack of ability, but a lack of access. Whether you're pivoting into a new field, leveling up your leadership, or navigating a difficult career moment, we're here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
The grant provides 3-6 months of:
-
1:1 Coaching and Mentorship
Matched with a seasoned coach based on your background, career goals, and professional stage. Our coaches are leaders in their fields, hand-selected for their track records and trained in inclusive, high-impact coaching. -
Career Tools and Resources
Resume and LinkedIn review, job search strategy, interview prep, and actionable guidance to help you navigate real-world career challenges. -
Curated Connections and Support
Where possible, we connect participants to additional learning, job programs, or networks aligned with their goals.
Our
Mission
"We are working toward a future where children from all backgrounds see themselves represented in roles that shape our world, with relatable role models that inspire them to believe that their voices matter and dreams are within reach"
- Kayla Vatalaro, CEO
We envision a future where leadership includes voices from every community—and where talent from all backgrounds has the tools to succeed.
​
Our mission is to expand access to meaningful career growth and leadership development by supporting professionals who have historically faced barriers to opportunity. We’re not just changing careers. When overlooked professionals rise, they bring others with them. That’s the kind of momentum we’re building.
