Building Futures. One Goal at a Time.
Futures Unlimited Community Integration Services (FUCIS) partners with adults across Los Angeles County to build the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to thrive, through job readiness training, vocational development, workforce preparation, and meaningful community participation.
FAST FORWARD THINKING
Our approach
Every participant who walks through our doors brings their own goals, their own story, and their own definition of success. Our job is to listen and then build the supports that get them there. Whether that path leads to a college classroom, a paid internship, a first job, or starting their own business, our Career Support Staff stands beside them every step of the way.
Our Vision
To build a community where every adult is recognized for their abilities, welcomed as a valued neighbor and contributor, and supported in shaping the life they choose.
Our Mission
To deliver person-centered day program services that equip the adults we serve to pursue their education, career, and community goals — guided by the principles of self-determination and person-centered planning.
Our Commitment
We commit to every participant and family who chooses FUCIS: that their goals will guide our work, that their voice will be heard in every decision, and that they will be treated with the dignity, respect, and care they deserve — every day, in every interaction.
Our Broader Community Mission
While FUCIS was founded to serve adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, our commitment to community has always extended further. FUCIS provides employment training, job placement, and barrier-removal services to low-income adults from minority and underserved communities across Los Angeles County — individuals who face significant obstacles to economic independence and who deserve the same quality of support, advocacy, and opportunity we bring to every participant we serve.

Services Overview
Building Skills, Confidence, and Community for Every Adult We Serve
Job Readiness Training
We prepare participants for the workplace through targeted instruction in workplace behavior, professional communication, time management, resume building, and interview practice. Participants build the confidence and soft skills employers expect, before stepping into a job site.
Self-Advocacy Development
Our peer-led social group meetings, participants come together in a safe, supportive space to build confidence, communication skills, and self-awareness. In these sessions, individuals learn alongside their peers how to understand their rights, express their preferences, set personal boundaries, and navigate real-life situations.
Community Resources
We connect participants to the resources that make independent community life possible; public transportation services, community college and DSPS access, financial aid navigation, public libraries, health and wellness programs, and our broader network of community partners.
Health and Safety Practices
The well-being of our participants is our top priority. We adhere to established health and safety standards in every location and activity, conduct regular site safety reviews, and maintain individualized emergency plans for each participant.
