About Us

The beautiful things about learning is that no one can take it away from you.”
–B.B. King

Follow For Now (FFN for short) is a budding non-profit and educational content creator based in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. With a potential user base of all ages across the country, FFN aims to spearhead an academic movement to make practical life skills a part of every state’s curriculum and every company’s compensation package.
Follow For Now was formed in 2018, with the goal of creating useful, relevant, and engaging learning experiences with three guiding principles:

Origin Story

This website was originally designed for high school seniors who often don’t have a lot to do their final two weeks of high school. It was also for high school instructors who may have a hard time keeping these students engaged their last two weeks of school.

What better way to send these students out into the world than to give them tools to be competent, prepared Americans and improve their quality of life?  If anything could keep their interest those last two weeks, this material can.

Soon I realized that many (most?) adults have also not been educated in so many of these important areas.  Adults could use this material to build their own book of knowledge and improve their everyday lives. A path for all to be informed, healthy, and happy. For those new to the United States this is one step toward becoming a successful citizen.

Working Adults

Employers should take note and use this website to their advantage.  It could be part of their onboarding program for new employees and they could offer incentives for current employees to complete the Follow For Now program.
Companies like Walmart, Amazon, Kroger, Target, Costco, McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A, Chipotle, Taco Bell, and even the federal government can show how much they care about their employees by introducing them to this free resource designed to help them elevate their lives.  How about offering a complimentary meal or gift card for each employee who can show you their certificate of completion?

The Equalizer

We see the effects of racial inequality everywhere. A little more beneath the surface, the economic gap between America’s wealthiest individuals and everyone else has grown wider than ever before. The income level of the overwhelming majority of us has stayed stagnant while most of the gains of our economy now go to the upper 1% of our country’s richest people.
In 2015 the average income of most Americans was about $50,000. For the wealthiest Americans in the top 1% the average income was $1,316,985 which is more than 26 times the income of the average American!
Follow For Now is a way to attack these racial and economic inequalities and help to level the playing field while getting people thinking about these important life skills areas. It’s my contribution. Follow my lead, for now, and then get started on your own path. Follow for now.
