Run the Future teaches innovation skills through identity-affirming, real-world learning experiences. Participants ages 16-26 transform into innovators, and develop a strong sense of self, while building both durable skills and tangible outputs that support success in a variety of pathways, including college, career, and entrepreneurship.

As a Product Lead at Cambiar Education, Mike is leading the evolution of the Run the Future learning experience to create a blended education product that can help reach more aspiring young entrepreneurs and innovators.
