Our Programs

Four pathways. One future.

Our programs connect technology, creativity, leadership, and opportunity — helping young people ages 10–24 develop the skills and confidence to participate in and lead the AI-powered economy.

Program Pillars

Programs in Development

Our founding programs are being built now.

Legacy Forward Institute is a new organization. Our founding programs are in development — being shaped by educators, technologists, and community partners. We are not yet operating completed programs, and we won't claim outcomes we haven't achieved.

If you'd like to be notified as programming launches, or you're interested in helping shape it, add your name to our interest list.

Planned flagship programs include the Legacy Forward AI Academy, Robotics & Innovation Lab, Digital Entrepreneurship Academy, Leadership Institute, and STEM Innovation Camp.
