Future Thinkers is a community of students and recent graduates passionate about sustainable homes and buildings. 

We all know we can build better - Future Thinkers offers a chance to get involved, connect with like-minded professionals, share ideas, and help power the shift towards a sustainable future.  

What if we educated and inspired the younger generations within our workforce. Our budding architects, property developers, engineers, contractors, designers, and trades people. What if we showed them how to care about green buildings? Future Thinkers provides the industry with that opportunity.”

Fill out the form below to get started!

 

Future Thinker membership is open to students or recent grads (within 4 years) of NZ institutions — it’s free if your uni or employer is an NZGBC member, or $28.50 + GST if not.

Not eligible to be a Future Thinker but keen to get involved? 

We're keen to chat with industry and NZGBC members about getting involved with Future Thinkers. We're forever on the lookout for people to share their stories, offer mentoring opportunities, give us a tour of their site, host an event, or sponsor Future Thinkers.  

If that sounds like you or you want to run through some ideas please  give us a shout

Thanks to our Future Thinker sponsors
