Mission
The mission of the caucus is to address issues important to millennial and Generation Z Americans, such as college affordability, entrepreneurship, job opportunities, and climate change. Future Forum's work is guided by three core principles: Bridging the divide between young Americans and their government, engaging with and empowering young voters, and inspiring the next generation of leaders in public service. Since its inception, Future Forum members have traveled to more than 50 cities to meet with young Americans where they live, work and go to school -- at universities and community colleges, business incubators, job training centers, cafes, and breweries.
