About Us
Future Leaders Bermuda
Our Story
In today’s world, young people often feel like it’s impossible to make a difference.
They are reduced to watching adults debate important issues like poverty, employment, education and the environment, which will affect them long after we’re gone.
But while many young people are referred to as future leaders, they must be reminded that they can also lead today. What skills can young people learn now that will prepare them to become better leaders in the future?
Who We Are
OUR Vision
We aim to empower passionate young leaders and arm them with the skills they need to make a positive impact in Bermuda and the world today.
OUR Focus
We offer our Future Leaders a range of meaningful opportunities through study, service, mentorship and empowerment, to develop the knowledge, experience and leadership skills they need to make a positive change in the community.
We provide ongoing support and develop partnerships beyond the traditional educational setting which empower students to fulfill their potential as leaders and change-makers in Bermuda and the world.
OUR Way
In all our activities, we encourage independent thought with a community centred and social justice-minded approach that will enable students to gain a better understanding of themselves, disrupt the status quo, and take charge over their futures.
What We Do
Programmes & Activities
Future Leaders Programme
Our flagship Summer Induction Programme is a three-week empowerment experience for middle to high school students.
At the end of the course, successful participants are officially inducted as Future Leaders and gain lifelong access to our alumni network, inclusive of a variety of mentorship and development opportunities.
Roose's Book Club
An extension of the Future Leaders curriculum, Roose's Book Club is designed for the entire community.
Through public dialogue, critical texts, and national reflection, Roose's Book Club invites Bermudians of all ages to explore history, identity, and justice - fostering lifelong learning and real-world conversations that shape our culture and future.
Mentorship & Opportunities
We support alumni beyond the summer programme through life skills training, academic enrichment, and transformational experiences. Designed to promote self-improvement, collaboration, and holistic wellbeing, this pathway helps young leaders build confidence and stay connected as they navigate life and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Retreats & Global Experiences
Our on-island retreats and overseas initiatives challenge our students to step outside comfort zones, support wellbeing, and expand awareness. Through study abroad, cultural exchange, and wellness, our experiences create space for reflection, connection, and growth - empowering Future Leaders to move forward with confidence, compassion, and clarity.
