Future Forward for Women

We are wanting to present a non-profit business

Imagine a place where homeless women and mothers don’t just try to survive, but they thrive and rebuild their lives for a brighter future. At Future Forward, we provide career coaching, job training, childcare, and feminine products and tips to support and help women regain independence and enter the workforce with confidence. Our team of dedicated mentors and partnerships works to connect these women to real job opportunities, with a goal of breaking the cycle of homelessness and financial struggles, especially for young women and single mothers. Located in the Eugene, OR area, we offer workshops, one-on-one counseling, workplace readiness revamp, and resume building sessions, all at no cost. Many women, especially those in vulnerable situations, lack the resources to restart their lives and careers. We are here every step of the way because second chances start with the right support. Join us in empowering women to rebuild their lives one job at a time.

NewJen Tints:

LED headlights have become common on most-of, if not all motorized vehicles. However, they have a severe downside, contributing to 12%-15% of all car crashes. NewJen Tints aims to create a viable, detailed product aimed to resolve this issue; a window tint that dissipates harsh, blue LED light from car headlights. With our sustainable business model, we aim to decrease the amount of car crashes, one car at a time.

A Retrospective and Introspective Look at Innovation in Small Business

This project is about innovation in small business. I will look at the innovative nature of a small photography business from the 1960s and how these innovations related to its external business environment. Upon observing these innovations, I will utilize them as a model to guide innovation in small businesses today.
