Our Vision

Every LGBTQIA+ young person feels safe, seen, & celebrated in their home, and community. 

Our Mission

The Future Perfect Project is a national arts initiative amplifying the voices of LGBTQIA+ youth across the United States through high-quality creative programming and professional artistic mentorship. By producing and facilitating in-person and remote programs in podcasting, music, creative writing, and more, we provide young people with queer-affirming spaces and professional tools to express themselves authentically, connect with others, and share their vision of a better future for us all, one in which everyone is free to be themselves.
