PROGRAMS

FUTURES has taken the nationwide success of Coaching Boys Into Men and expanded it into the international space, hosting trainings, supporting program adaptations, and partnering with international organizations to expand the reach of CBIM across the globe.

In 2006, FUTURES partnered with UNICEF, FIFA (Fèdèration Internationale de Football Associacion), Nike, and The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), among others, to develop CBIM program adaptations, and implement and evaluate CBIM in various communities around the world. Over the years, CBIM has reached countries including Australia, South Africa, Angola, Brazil, Ivory Coast, Japan, Mexico, Norway, and Trinidad.
