Applications are now open for Hatfield Futures 2026!
Using the year 2050 to spark our collective imagination, the Hatfield Futures Project invites up to six teams of high-school students from across Oregon to envision Oregon’s future and generate proposals to address important social, environmental, and economic issues.
Teams will gather in Portland for a one-week summer camp from July 5 - 11, 2026 to build community, dream up forward-thinking ideas and create 'artifacts from the future' that reflect their visions; and then present those proposals at the Hatfield Futures Showcase on July 11, 2026. The program is free and all meals and lodging costs are covered.
Go to Hatfield Futures to learn more and apply here. Both teams of high school students as well as individual students are welcome to apply.
The deadline to apply is Sunday March 1, 2026.
