When the program is fully developed, students of the program will be able to leverage their time, experience, and portfolio towards optional college credit. When they begin, students are interviewed for their future life goals and they develop a "futurefolio" that will allow them to work backwards into the kinds of skills that they may need to feel accomplished at certain intervals in their life (5, 10, 20 years). Daily classes involve local tours of schools and companies, as well as urban and enrichment centers like museums and parks, where local challenges are then turned into business and "movement" opportunities. Student groups are paired with a series of mentors and their ideas are concretized into fully fledged projects that they can showcase in their yearly portfolios.

Young people and high school students who have a summer(s) of opportunity will be offered a chance to go to summer school, where they can learn experientially and opt-in to credit for building aspects of their life-long portfolio.This idea emerged from:
- A group brainstorm
- An OpenIDEO outpost or chapter
