TOM MABE TALKS COMEDY CAREER, FAMILY & CALLING JEFFERSONTOWN HOME Writer / Tyrel Kissinger Photographer / Terrance Mason

Tom Mabe may not be a native-born Jeffersontown citizen but he’s been here more than long enough to call it his rightful home.

Originally from Bullitt County, Mabe moved here 25 years ago, bringing along with him a particular sense of comedy and hard work that has led him on a very fascinating life journey and made Jeffersontown a better place for it.

Mabe is mostly known for humor but it didn’t start out that way for him. Music was his first calling.

“I come from a family full of musicians and songwriters,” Mabe says. “Which is what I was doing up until the late 90s.”

Out of the blue, Mabe received a call from

Virgin Records Nashville, though not for his “I went into TV,” he says. “I had a show music, which is what he initially hoped for. on CMT called “Mabe In America.” I did a movie with Lions Gate called “Natural “They wanted me to come meet with Scott Born Pranksters.” Now I create viral videos Hendricks, who is Nashville royalty, behind for myself and clients like DreamWorks, every other major country star,” Mabe Subaru, Walmart, Boost Mobile, to name says. “I thought he must have heard one a few. I have over a billion views and four of my songs or something but it turns out million followers on social media. One of someone sent him a cassette tape of me my biggest accomplishments is when I had messing with telemarketers.” the number one video in the world and beat out Disney’s “Frozen” on Adweek’s top 10 Mabe still finds it hard to believe viral videos.” sometimes.

For those wondering what might have “I got a six-album deal on Virgin prompted such a momentous feat, Mabe Records from a recording I made with happily elaborates the scenario. a $37 answering machine messing with telemarketers,” he says.

“My best friend and writing partner, Jim Clark, took a guy who was passed out from From there, as they say, the sky was the drinking too much and placed him in a fake limit, and Mabe’s star continued to rise. hospital room and when he woke we were

dressed like doctors and we told him he had been in a coma for 10 years,” he says.

Beyond the entertainment aspect Mabe, not one to rest on his laurels, found himself wearing other hats of show business, such as his trying his hand at being a talent agent.

“About 12 years ago I started leveraging my fanbase and contacts to develop other acts,” he says. “I discovered a young girl by the name of Kelsea Ballerini and followed her through her journey trying to navigate the Nashville scene. She now has a handful of number one hits and is the next Taylor Swift.”

Of course, Mabe still loves a good prank.

One of his more recent comedic ideas took place right here in Louisville in 2015.

“I had a concept for a video showing you can’t judge a book by its cover,” he says. “The idea would be that we would

10 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / JUNE 2019 / JeffersontownMag.com

get four or five guys dressed like thugs, put them in nice subdivisions in Eastern Jefferson County, have them go up to houses and knock on strangers’ doors.

When the homeowner finally opens the door they discover the guys aren’t there to rob them, they are there to sing Christmas carols.”

Outside of being in the limelight, Mabe also shares a passion for helping others in need, donating both his time and his talents to help in ways that are unique to him.

“I have a real passion for dogs and underdogs,” Mabe says. “I have done several videos featuring the Humane Society and other nonprofits that benefit the welfare of animals. I’m also currently managing and developing a former homeless man named “Homeless Herbie.”

Our videos for him have gotten more than 150 million views and we’re taking our message to the masses with a tour starting late summer.”

Beyond his work, Mabe enjoys spending time with his family, his church, his five dogs that he calls his “fur babies.”

He and wife of 25 years, Melanie, have two children, Josh and Mack and all are members of the Jeffersontown Christian Church. His devotion to his faith even factors into his newest endeavor.

“Currently, I am working on a reality show called Campbellsville University the real CU, a faith-based college in the middle of Kentucky,” he says. “It’s featured on Facebook watch and our second season comes out mid-spring.”

As a man of many ventures, Mabe has also recently delved into the hemp business as well.

“Like myself, my son has Tourette syndrome, though more of a verbal tic, and right before we were going to do deep brain stimulation my wife suggested we try CBD oil,” he says. “I was extremely hesitant at first but after some research, we gave it a shot and now my son tics a few times a day, as opposed to once every eight to 12 seconds. So I took one of my commercial properties and turned it into the Hemp Wellness Farm off Benson Parkway. My dream is for my son to run the shop one day.”

Obviously, Mabe is and will always be a busy, sought after man and traveling still plays a large part in his work. But no matter what’s going on in his life, Mabe always makes time to hang out and enjoy his long adopted hometown of Jeffersontown and all the things it has to offer.

“I drive to Nashville or fly to Los Angeles a couple of times a month but always make it back home,” he says. “I don’t have to travel as much nowadays.

My kids used to think I lived at the airport. But now on any given night, you’ll see me in J-Town at Louisville Pizza or the Recbar. I have canceled shows to not miss the Gaslight Festival.”

Mabe shrugs, because the reason is obvious. “This is home.”

Audience members will find the seating and top of house areas look largely the same, but the entire stage was demolished to make way for new construction. The concrete of JUNE 2019

the original stage has been replaced, and the houses on stage were torn down and reconstructed with metal, in hopes they will last longer than the previous wood structures.

Although the project has been overwhelming at times, “The Stephen Foster Story” staff, cast and crew, are thrilled to be carrying on the tradition.

“The outpouring of support we received from fans, cast, former cast, crew, the community in Bardstown in Kentucky and beyond is overwhelming,” Bass says. “We want to celebrate that and say thank you by putting on the best productions we can this summer.”

“The Stephen Foster Story,” one of the oldest and longest-running outdoor shows in America, follows the life of America’s

first great composer Stephen Collins Foster in the mid-19th century. The performance features more than 50 of Foster’s greatest compositions, including “Oh! Susanna,” “Camptown Races,” and Kentucky’s state song, “My Old Kentucky Home.”

The performance looks a little different from year to year, but the story remains the same. This year’s production will feature new actors in the lead roles of Stephen Foster and Jane McDowell.

“It’s intriguing to see how different actors portray these iconic roles,” Bass says. “If you haven’t seen the show in the last few years, come back and see it. It’s really rare to find a show that’s been running for 61 years.

We still have the same breathtaking costumes and song and dance numbers, but one of my favorite things about watching the show over the years is it does change.”

The cast members performed an abridged version of “The Stephen Foster Story” at the base of Mount Fuji that ended with “My Old Kentucky Home.”

“At least 75 percent of the audience was singing along with us at the end,” Bass says. “Music really is the universal language.”

“The Stephen Foster Story” is performed on select nights from June 8 through August 10. A special celebration will be held on Independence Day to celebrate

9204 Taylorsville Rd, Suite 206 (502) 785-7480 | rejuvmedicalky.com JUNE 2019

Foster’s birth on that day in 1826. The celebration includes pre-show contests like hula-hooping and watermelon eating.

Cupcakes are passed out to attendees at intermission, and the night is capped off with a fireworks show.

“The July 4 show is one of our favorite events,” Bass says. “Stephen Foster only lived until the age of 37, but even to this day, people know him as much as they know some of the most popular music on the radio.”

In addition to “The Stephen Foster Story,” the amphitheatre also hosts a Broadway-style show each summer, and this year marks the return of the Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber hit musical “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” The show was last performed at the amphitheatre in 2009, which was the first year at the helm for current Managing Artistic Director Johnny Warren.

“Bringing back the show is a cool way for things to come back around from when Warren first took over 10 years ago,” Bass says. “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” is one of his favorite productions, and helps us celebrate the decade he has spent directing.”

The amphitheatre also hosts a summer concert series, and this year’s highlights include tributes to boy bands (Boy Band Review, July 29) and Bon Jovi (The Music of Bon Jovi, September 6), as well as country music chart-toppers Parmalee, featuring Lebanon, Kentucky, native and American Idol alum Layla Spring ( July 15).

In the meantime, “The Stephen Foster Story” is excited to be back and better than

ever. Bass, for one, is looking forward to the energy and excitement the performance season brings.

“The Stephen Foster Story” for many more seasons to come.

“In the off-season there are just three of us in the office, and it explodes into this force of 100 other people here between the cast, crew, ushers, box office and concessions,” he says. “It’s crazy how it goes from being so quiet to a crazy explosion of art and music.”

“One of my favorite experiences every year is talking to parents and grandparents who saw the show years ago and are now bringing their kids and grandkids,” Bass says. “It’s fun to see the generational consistency. In preserving history, we have become history.”

Bass and his colleagues are excited to have the opportunity to continue the tradition of

R&B ROOFING AND REMODELING 12700 Townepark Way Louisville, KY 40243 (502) 268-4216 GottaBeRandB.com

R&B Roofing and Remodeling has upgraded properties around the Louisville area for more than a decade, and their work in the community has truly set them apart as a leader in the market.

“We believe the community is our family, and we have to support them as much as they support us,” says R&B General Manager Scott Waldman.

Last Christmas, R&B partnered with the Salvation Army to help feed Louisville’s extensive homeless population. R&B also signed on to sponsor the Salvation Army’s Ice Cream and Birthday Social program for 2019. As part of that program, Louisville’s homeless residents are invited to a celebration during their birthday month where they receive a small gift and are served cake and ice cream.

“When you’re homeless, you’re struggling to just find a meal or a place to sleep and nobody ever says happy birthday to you,” says Waldman, noting that the majority of the population is just one to two paychecks away from being on the street themselves.

“At R&B we like to pick up the community,

we like to add value over and above the value we’re adding to people’s homes and projects.”

And those projects are extensive. R&B operates 10 crews with more than 120 contractors who work with both commercial and residential property owners. Customers get a great deal because R&B employs their own contractors instead of bidding out the work.

“We’re able to turn projects very quickly and efficiently, and we don’t have to mark up the cost because it’s our employees doing the R&B works with customers to create a plan work,” Waldman says. and install schedule that works best for their A full-service construction company, R&B’s situation.

NATIONAL VETERANS WHEELCHAIR GAMES COMING TO LOUISVILLE JULY 11-16 Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

Each year the National Veterans Wheelchair Games (NVWG) is co-presented between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA).

The games serve veterans with spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, amputations and other neurological impairments that require the individual to use wheelchairs or adaptive equipment for sports and recreation.

“The games reflect the VA and PVA’s rehabilitation commitment to inspire and empower veterans with physical disabilities to lead more active lives through sports,” says Dave Tostenrude, Director of NVWG. This year the NVWG are coming to Louisville between July 11-16 as the Robley Rex VA Medical Center is cohosting the games with the Kentucky-Indiana Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (KIPVA). Free and open to the public to spectate, this is the 39th year for the games.

According to Tostenrude, the games are a rehabilitation event at its core given that approximately 25% of the veterans who attend are being active through VA

rehabilitation programs or through the PVA’s chapters across the country.

“There’s nothing out there like it,” Tostenrude says.

“We’re using adaptive sports as a tool to get people living healthy lives,” says Tostenrude, who has been working for the VA since 1990, starting first as a recreational therapist specializing in spinal cord injury rehabilitation in Seattle. He then served as a coach for 12 years before moving into an administrative role within the VA. In 2012, when the long-term founder and director of the games retired, Tostenrude says he “won the lottery and was selected as the new director.”

Besides the 600 veterans, another 150-200 caregivers and staff will work the event, not counting the hundreds of sponsors and thousands of volunteers. According to Heather Harding, the local [Louisville] Organizing Chair of the 39th NVWG, it takes between 2,500 to 4,500 volunteers working in various capacities throughout the week to put on this massive event.

This year organizers are anticipating more than 600 veterans to come to Louisville.

According to Vickie Lincks, Executive Director of KIPVA, 23 of those athletes hail from Kentucky and Indiana. They are also expecting a record number of novices (newly injured or new to the program) to participate — 170 are already registered. The games introduce novices to a larger community that many didn’t even know existed. And it works both ways as two-thirds of the veterans who return each year do so because they want to inspire the novices.

JUNE 2019

The program, which follows a Paralympic model, includes 20 different events ranging from basketball, boccia, and bowling to track, trapshooting and table tennis. There’s also swimming, softball, cycling, power lifting and power soccer, as well as archery, air guns, quad rugby and a golf scramble.

Then there’s the ever-popular wheelchair obstacle course called the slalom, a test of agility, strength, skill and speed.

“We offer pretty much the entire spectrum of adaptive sports,” says Tostenrude, noting that they’ve had a number of veterans who have been exposed to wheelchair sports at the NVWG and have gone on to win gold

medals at Paralympic competitions.

Athletes are encouraged to participate in up to five events as long as their physician has cleared them to do so. Each year the NVWG move to a new community so that veterans can not only visit different cities but also practice navigating outside their comfort zone.

“By traveling to other cities, they have to transition their care away from their home community where they’re secure,” Tostenrude says. “They become more independent because traveling in a wheelchair can be really challenging and that’s part of the experience.”

In addition, having different cities host enables the VA and PVA to expose communities to greater opportunities to support veteran services. For instance, this year during the week of the games, there’s a giant music festival happening in Louisville.

“It’s kind of hard for the Louisville community not to see 600 people rolling around, competing, and having a great time,” says Tostenrude. “It’s great exposure for people to support programs for the disabled community.”

The main hub for the NVWG will be at the Kentucky International Convention Center though they will also utilize a variety of outdoor venues as well. For instance, cycling will be held at Beckley Creek Park.

Field events will be at Pope Lick Park.

Jeffersonville High School will host the track events. The sports festival/team challenge will be at Belvedere Park. And the athlete reception, as well as the slalom/ Super G will be at Fourth Street Live.

The Super G is a head-to-head timed obstacle course competition between two athletes who have the same level of injury.

UPS, a national sponsor for the event, has stepped up to make the experience

unforgettable for the veterans. For example, they’re bringing in some of their soupedup vehicles to stage in the area. They’re also building a platform to cover the entire street. The Super G, held at the end of the week, is a hallmark event that Tostenrude describes as “American Ninja Warrior on steroids but in a wheelchair.”

“They’ll put the athletes four feet in the air on railroad ties and they have to traverse that in their wheelchair. We’re going to have them climb a climbing wall in their wheelchairs,” Harding says. “It’s amazing to watch these wheelchaired athletes go through an obstacle course that a lot of us probably couldn’t do ourselves.”

After 26 years of working with the games, Tostenrude still gets choked up during opening ceremonies.

“When the novices come into the opening ceremonies and recognize that they’re part

Executive Director Susanna Westerfield

Man’s Best Friend reach capacity and can close, but by law we can’t turn away pets. We take in approximately While dogs are often known to mankind as 7,400 pets per year. We are a no-kill status, “man’s best friend”, they aren’t always treated regardless of overcrowding, as of 2017. We as such. Friends of Metro Animal Services rely heavily on our community to foster and (FOMAS) seeks to remedy the often adopt, as well as our rescue groups.” mistreated and abandoned pet population by becoming a home for homeless pets in Ironically, as the executive director, Louisville, Ky. Westerfield says she wasn’t immediately on board with the idea of FOMAS. After FOMAS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit entity learning it’s a no-kill shelter, she had a formed in 2009. In April 2018, it appointed change of heart. Her involvement with the its first ever executive director, Susanna M. animals becomes even more ironic as you Westerfield, to expand community outreach get to know her. and create events that will raise money for Louisville Metro Animal Services (LMAS). “I’m actually very allergic to cats and dogs,” Westerfield says. “I grew up taking allergy According to Westerfield, the goal of shots and having no pets in the house. After LMAS is to help families keep their pets. college, I had my own home and I thought I Statistically, many families surrender pets would take two kittens from a friend. After because they can’t afford to take care of a week, I couldn’t breathe. I went to my them. LMAS is different than other rescue allergy doctor, Dr. Corbett, whom I still see groups in Louisville because it’s the only today. I told him I was keeping the pets and open-admission shelter in Jefferson County. he was going to find a way for me to breathe.

I still have pets today!”

“We take the sick, injured, abused, and abandoned pets of Jefferson County,” LMAS is under the metro government, Westerfield says. “Some of the other shelters and they have a budget, according to Writer / Shannon Evanko

Westerfield. Because budgets get reduced, taken away, etc., FOMAS has a free adoption program called Pay it Forward to raise money and provide for LMAS. When someone adopts from them, the animal will have vaccinations, microchips and be spayed or neutered.

“Once someone has their required, approved application, we ask them to pay it forward with a donation that works for them,” Westerfield says.

Similar to Westerfield’s initial assumptions about animal shelters, she says euthanization is a common misconception LMAS faces.

“We have to have community support to be a world-class animal shelter. We partner with rescue groups locally, and we are very grateful for that,” Westerfield says. “They have no choice but to shut the door, and we can’t. Another misconception is that these are ‘bad animals’. The reality is that the animals who end up in our care don’t have a choice. They are not strays, they are someone’s pet and have been abandoned.”

Naturally for any nonprofit, there are financial needs. According to Westerfield, naming rights and monetary donations at any level are both options for donating to FOMAS. “Twenty dollars per year will make a huge difference,” Westerfield says. “These monies will help us provide updated items in the new animal care facility being built.

With an annual donation of $1,000, any company or individual can claim their naming right to either a cat or dog kennel.”

If someone is unable to give financially, there are plenty of other fun ways to be involved.

“Another big need we have is volunteering,” Westerfield says. “We have a great field trip orientation program run by Stephanie Jackson to get the pet out for the day or overnight.

You attend a one-hour orientation and complete an application. It’s a significant help to that pet to be outside of the shelter.”

LMAS celebrated a ground-breaking on July 5, 2018, for their Newburg Road campus. Westerfield says the current facility on Manslick Road needs to be evacuated because it’s in a flood zone and has poor ventilation. Newburg Road will be a campus-sized location with a half-mile walking trail. This is the same location where our current Animal House Adoption Center is located.

According to Westerfield, the Newburg facility will be in the former Public Works location. It will be refurbished and house a medical treatment center, spay/neuter clinic, diagnostics and X-ray room, more dog play yards and more conducive facilities for employees.

a very long time and care so deeply,” Westerfield says. “We need to provide for them, as well, to care for the animals.

Our updated facility will help us provide and improve upon the after-hour needs of families and pets. We contract out many animal care services, which is an enormous expense. To help with these expenses we ask help from our community in the form of giving. Donors will get an opportunity to name a cat or dog kennel, for example, with an annual donation.

We have many to select from. Anyone interested in becoming a donor can contact me directly.”

As for the future of FOMAS and their hopes for LMAS, things seem clear.

“Empty kennels are our desire,” Westerfield says. “Any pet that comes into our kennel may need to be there because they’ve been injured, sick or abused, even. We are helping pets, but also people. Animals give steadfast love, no matter what.”

LMAS earned their no-kill status in 2017, and they need the community to help them stay that way, according to Westerfield. No-kill is a day-to-day goal, but not a guarantee.

“Come and find your pets,” Westerfield says. “We need volunteers to work events.

We need funds. You bring a pet to us, they are not automatically euthanized. We’re

going to do all that we can do to re-home that pet, but we need the community’s help every day.”

2. APPLY PROTECTION BEFORE GOING OUTDOORS Combining permethrin-treated clothing (or specially-designed, chemical-free Rynoskin clothing) with skin repellent will provide a personal layer of defense against ticks.

Permethrin is safe for humans and can be applied to both the inside and outside of clothing items (and camping gear) to effectively repel and kill ticks.

You can treat your own clothing at home, mail it in to a treatment company or buy pre-treated clothing.

Apply skin repellent to the areas on your body that are not covered by treated clothing. There are several skin repellents on the market, with varying effective timeframes and active ingredients. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s usage directions and avoid products that combine repellent with sunscreen.

3. “DE-TICK” AFTER COMING BACK INDOORS There are three crucial steps for any “deticking” protocol.

First, as soon as you come inside, disrobe and tumble dry your clothes on high heat (without washing them) – 10 minutes (gas) or 15 minutes (electric). Studies have shown that dry heat kills ticks.

Damp or wet clothing should be tumble dried on high heat for at least 60-90 minutes.

Muddy clothes should be washed in hot water (130°or higher). If you must wash the clothes in cold or warm water, be careful handling them between the washer and dryer, because ticks could survive those wash cycles. Then you can tumble dry them for 60 minutes (high heat) to 90 minutes (low heat) or until completely dry.

ANNUAL ALC JAZZ FEST KICKS OFF JULY 6 Writer / Shannon Siders

East end residents won’t have to travel far to enjoy national jazz musicians this summer at the second annual ALC Jazz Fest on Saturday, July 6. Featuring six acts, indoor and outdoor stages, food trucks and more, this family-friendly event offers something for all ages.

Local musician Todd Hildreth was the

inspiration for the event, held at Ascension Lutheran Church (13725 Shelbyville Road) where he is the music director. Hildreth, who has also been a piano instructor at Bellarmine University for the last 16 years, intentionally timed the event to happen in conjunction with the Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshop. That event, held at the University of Louisville each summer, brings in dozens of national acts across two weeks in July.

“National musicians from New York to California come in to teach at these camps, so we tap into that pool in addition to local talent,” says Hildreth, whose role with the festival is to coordinate the music and the musicians.

Hildreth is excited to give Middletown residents a more local option for Fourth of July weekend fun, rather than heading to downtown Louisville.

“This is a great festival that offers both outdoor and indoor entertainment, right in the heart of Middletown,” Hildreth says. “You usually have to head downtown or to a different neighborhood to hear quality jazz.”

The festival experienced foot traffic from customers of the retail stores in the immediate area, who happily stumbled upon the event.

Hildreth works hard to create a diverse range of jazz styles and musicians to perform, so there truly is something for everyone.

The outdoor stage will feature performances by New York City Saxophonist Eric Alexander Quartet (4-5pm), Gypsy Jazz group Ken Allday Quartet (6-7pm), and Latin Jazz group Hermanos (8-9pm), while the indoor stage will host performances from vocal smooth jazz Jerry Tolson group (5-6pm), and modern piano jazz Chuck Marohnic trio (7-8pm).

evening will be capped off by a performance on the indoor stage featuring Hildreth, who will be joined by University of Louisville piano instructor Gabe Evans from 9-10 p.m.

“We’ll be playing each other’s compositions and arrangements and will reach out to others from the camp to perform with us as well,” says Hildreth, who described their style as original and electric jazz. “We’ll have all different kinds of jazz throughout the night to make for a really nice event.”

Designing more comfortable wheelchair handles. Caps to apply sunscreen. Grips to hold fitted sheets. Just some of the past projects for “Design The Future,” a weeklong design and engineering program for high schools students by DC Design, a small social impact design firm in Oakland, California.

The University of Louisville is hosting the program for the first time this June, along with Stanford University, Boston University, University of Kansas, University of Wisconsin –Madison and Sacred Heart University. The program began five years ago at Stanford.

The immersive STEM summer program was developed with the Institute of Design at Stanford and K12 Lab by creator Durell Coleman of DC Design. The program teaches students a college environment,

engagement to effect social challenges and about looking at abilities and creating products to improve daily life and the world around them.

Design The Future and lead designer at DC Design. Johnson is an alumna of Stanford and University of Kansas. “It’s getting to know the partner, understand what life is like.”

Students learn design concepts, work in teams and hear guest lectures from professors and entrepreneurs. The emphasis is on participation, not just in a classroom approach but also person-centered and in hands-on building and developing understanding and empathy.

Students meet project partners, make prototypes and test them with project partners. Low fidelity prototypes are made with materials such as cardboard and duct tape, then a coach evaluates and buys material for the final products.

“I’m not just making a product to make a product but making a product for a person,” says one student, in the “Design The Future 2018” video.

The program also teaches students to design with project partners, not just for them, in the process learning ways to help people in future and learning to persist to find solutions, keeping the user in mind.

There are two six-day sessions for 30-50 participants. Teams of students work with project partners to understand their daily life. “It’s putting yourself in their shoes, starting with understanding experiences,” says Libby Johnson, lead facilitator for

The program hires local high school teachers and facilitators and college students as coaches. Local students pay to participate but scholarships are available for low-income students and students from under-represented groups.

JeffersontownMag.com / JUNE 2019 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / 33

The University of Louisville was chosen because the school’s social engagement and community focus on design.

“It fits well to expand,” Johnson says. “The University of Louisville cares about social impact when wanting to bring programs to the Midwest.”

Johnson is from Lawrence, Kansas but has contacts in Louisville.

The program teaches students to “take challenges, in engineering or other fields, while figuring out who they’re going to be, what to do and about going to college.”

Some program participants plan to go into engineering or design, some to education and social work.

“The common thread is to show concern for others, and to help others, in math or science or languages,” Johnson says.

The group also has a growing network of alumni who stay in touch, both students and project partners. Some partners even participate again in different year sessions.

Last year, a filmmaker followed the program and decided to make a documentary. The 30-minute video “Design The Future,” is in production by David Orr of Paperweight Films.

Schools see the importance of Design The Future in giving back to the community.

“Design The Future allows kids to believe in the idea they change the future, and they can change the world,” described a project partner.

Johnson encourages the whole community to get involved.

“We’re encouraging students to apply, to ask questions and looking for project partners,” Johnson says.

Ryan Foundoulis was a student in Design The Future at Stanford University in 2017.

His team worked on a storage solution compatible with a project partner’s wheelchair to help access personal items.

Foundoulis noted that Design The Future influenced his future school and career plans.

He is currently studying physics at UCLA. “We’re looking for students who want to “It definitely had an impact on how I chose a make an impact, to bring together different college career, and career thereafter,” he says. backgrounds and skills and give them a direction to go in,” he says.

He’s hoping to work for a technology company that is “focused on solving He has also applied to be a coach at problems, not just creating technology, like sessions in Stanford University and Boston Design the Future focused on solutions.”

University this summer.

Foundoulis is also serving on Design The Future’s Student and Parent Advisory Board, offering ideas and reviewing applications.

“It’s a crash course in design and the tools to go forward and make something to help someone,” he says. “That’s why I want to be

a coach, to steer someone in the direction I got.”

For students thinking of applying, he offers this advice — don’t worry if you don’t have a technical background.

“The most important thing we look for is if students really care, want to help, have a passion and want to make someone’s life better,” he says.
