Operating Structure

Future Generations operates as two legally separate entities under one organizational mission.

In 1992, Future Generations was founded as a charitable non-government organization. It is now complemented by the Future Generations Graduate School, founded in 2003 and incorporated in 2006 in the State of West Virginia with authorization to provide a Master's Degree in Applied Community Change and Conservation. The Graduate School is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association (www.ncahlc.org, ph: 800-621-7440).

Both organizations have separate governing boards and budgets, but are led by the same President and share a common international headquarters in Circleville, West Virginia.

These two organizations closely collaborate with independent Future Generations organizations in a growing number of countries, currently in Canada, India, and China, and local organizational affiliates in Afghanistan and Peru. All Future Generations organizations ascribe to a common mission.
