It all started with our own family—navigating the rollercoaster of life after high school with big dreams and even bigger questions.

 

We had a student with talent, drive, and the dream of playing at the college level. But like so many families, we quickly found ourselves overwhelmed by the maze of majors, applications, deadlines, and recruiting decisions. There was no clear guide, and the pressure was real.

 

We realized we weren’t alone—and there had to be a better way.

 

That’s why we created Confident Futures: a flexible, student-focused program designed to guide young people through the critical transition out of high school—whether they’re headed to college, a career, the military, or a college team.

 

Originally launched as RampUp! For College, the program was successfully used in Bonner County Schools and as part of Idaho’s Go On initiative. After a brief pause to care for life’s bigger responsibilities, it’s now been fully revived, expanded, and modernized for today’s students, parents, and educators.
