Young Adults
Have you graduated high school (or ensino médio or escuela secundaria)?
Perhaps you have started university. If you are unhappy about a choice you already made, you are welcome.
Or maybe you are working while you wait for your next step to reveal itself. If you are stressed about a choice you have to make, you are welcome.
If you are looking for clarity and confidence about life after high school, you belong here!
First, society tells you what to do every day of your life between kindergarten and high school. For 13 years, you know what you are waking up for, Monday through Friday. If you are involved in sports, the arts, or other intense extra-curriculars, you also know what you are waking up for on your weekends.
Then, with little preparation for the world beyond high school, you graduate. Plop! Done! Over!
At the graduation ceremony you may hear that you can do anything you want and that you should follow your passion. (Click the link to hear why there couldn’t be worse advice!)
We have failed you. We have dropped you off a cliff the day you graduated high school and expected you to fly!
Again and again, I see this gap and its consequences—emotional, social and financial—in the lives of young people and the adults who care about them.
I created Design de Futuros to help fix this.
It all begins with a conversation.
Let’s begin!
-
Schedule this free 20-minute call if you would like to talk about what is concerning you and to learn about one or more of these: the 8-week program (individual), personalized career counseling packets, and writing coaching packets. Click the bolded words below to schedule.
-
In this program, you and I will meet for 8 weeks.
Four individual meetings take place every other week, with me, and last 75 minutes.
The weeks in between are for one-hour meetings to explore resources learned the week before and ask any questions you may have.
These additional meetings may include others, if other young people are in the personalized program at the same time as you.
For more details, including what we cover in each individual meeting, click the bolded words below.
We begin with an Exploratory Call, to see what your needs are and if the 8-week program is a good fit for your needs.
SCHEDULE YOUR EXPLORATORY CALL
If possible, please bring your supporting adult(s) to your Exploratory Call!

Career Counseling refers to 75-minute private work sessions designed to focus on what you need the most. For example, you may want to have several meetings focused on career clusters rather than a single session, as would be the case in the 8-week program. Or you may want to study the job market of a particular country in more depth than is possible in the 8-week program.
To see the topics you can select to cover in more detail in a single session, check the link to the 8-week program below.
