Your Voice Belongs in Shaping What Comes Next
Innovators for Purpose (iFp) empowers young people, especially those who have been historically underestimated, to turn curiosity into real-world impact through design, STEM, and agency.
Talent is Everywhere. Opportunity Still Isn’t.
Too many talented young people are excluded from the spaces where ideas are tested, careers are launched, and futures are shaped.
iFp bridges that gap by building pathways into the innovation economy, ensuring students are not just prepared for the future, but positioned to shape it.
We Build Pathways, Not Programs
Most programs are transactional: you attend, you complete, you leave.
iFp is different. We build long-term relationships that begin with curiosity and extend through college and into careers. Our students don't just participate. They become part of a community that opens doors.
Agency
Students develop their voice, confidence, and the ability to question the systems that shape their lives.
Tools
Hands-on design and STEM experiences using real tools and processes.
Platforms
Stages, showcases, and partnerships where student ideas are seen and taken seriously.
I came to iFp with a portfolio of posters and logos. Soon, I learned that design was so much more. iFp opened worlds I never knew existed.
