BSF College Tours
The annual regional college tour is the staple event for Building Strong Futures, Inc.
Each year, the board travels across the U.S. with up to 35 students to provide exposure to colleges and universities all over the nation.
Visiting both HBCUs and PWIs, we are proud to share that we have taken our students to more than 15 institutions across Florida, Louisiana, Tennesee, and the DMV.
Building Strong Futures recognizes the important role higher education plays in advancing and developing our youth and we’re committed to continuing this program.
While most of our activities are educational in nature, we allow our youth to be kids and have fun with our program. This testimonial is filled with both sincere feedback and laughs that will stay with us as we move from the past to the present and the future. Hear from our students!

“The Building Strong Futures(B.S.F.) Organization is the reason why I love HBCUs and attend one now. I attended two, summer, college tours with the program, and we toured HBCUs and PWIs. I am very grateful for those college tours, as I was able to see the college lifestyle. I saw the academic side of college, financial aid, Greek life, athletics, and also heard college stories from our B.S.F mentors. Aside from the college tour, B.S.F. also gave me the tools to succeed in the business world. We were given skills on how to ace a job interview, we were exposed to different careers, and we even took an etiquette class. Building Strong Futures does exactly what their name says. They Build Strong Futures. I am currently a senior studying Business Marketing at Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina. I received a full-ride scholarship to my institution. I am very active on my campus. I'm a member of the Psi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc; a member of the student advisory board for the School of Business and Entrepreneurship. Building strong futures gave me the tools and knowledge in high school that has since grown and helped me succeed during my college life."

“As a former ambassador of Building Strong Futures (B.S.F), I can proudly speak on how impactful this organization has been. Building Strong Futures supported me during my transition to a young adult. This organization prepared me for adulting by providing knowledge on citizenship, finance, building personal and formal relationships, all while creating a personalized connection. When I was privileged to become an ambassador for Building Strong Futures, it allowed my leadership skills to thrive as I became enthused to gear my peers in preparation for the next step in life. After graduating from high school, Building Strong Futures continued their duties by empowering and supporting me during my undergrad. I have received scholarships and trade opportunities by networking with Building Strong Futures. B.S.F is an organization that encourages visionary leaders to continue to further their education. I am forever grateful for the opportunities and experiences that Building Strong Futures has advanced me with.
