About Us

Who are we?

Millennial Future is operated by a group of young professionals that include two returned Peace Corps Volunteers that served from 2016 until 2018 in the indigenous reservation of Panama known as the Comarca Ngabe-Bugle. We served as WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Health) Volunteers and our projects ranged from sexual health education to construction of potable water system. We fell in love with this area and it’s people, and decided to develop a way to share with others the Ngabe Indian culture in a healthy and sustainable way.

Meet Chandler Crouch

Hi everyone, I grew up in and still reside in Austin, Texas. After completing my undergraduate degree in civil engineering at Texas A&M, I decided to volunteer my time to give back to the world that has given me so much. Serving for 2 years in Panama with the US Peace Corps was a dream come true. I recommend every young professional who has the ability to donate their time and learn about other walks of life.

Living with the Ngabe Indians taught me countless life lessons and I cant wait for you to learn your own. These are wholesome and culturally rich people. I return regularly to this community in Panama to unplug and recharge from the fast paced lifestyle we practice here in the US.

I currently work in Austin as a civil engineer in water infrastructure and spend my free time on the lake with my friends and family.

Meet Zack Wolfe

My passion for service work began as I grew up moving between Latin America and the U.S. where I witnessed health injustices and extreme poverty.  Those experiences led me to study Global Health and Environment at the University of Michigan and ultimately join the Peace Corps.  

I am registered nurse in Kentucky and live in the Red River Gorge where I work for a small cabin rental company and volunteer on the Search and Rescue team. I love the outdoors and enjoy sharing that passion with others having worked as a guide in Virginia and as a park ranger at the Grand Canyon. I look forward to showing you what the Comarca Ngabe-Bugle has to offer alongside our Ngabe friends, it truly is a spectacular place. 

Ultimately my goal is to offer you a glimpse into a part of Panama very few tourists get to see and experience a way of life different from our own. Slowing down, appreciating the day to day, are all things that can lead to growth. We hope to create a symbiotic relationship between our community members, our guests, and this business. Hopefully together we can make this world a slightly better place and flip the script on what it means to travel.

Julian is a Texas native who learned first-hand about Millennial Future’s objective to share community and jumped aboard. Julian is a world traveler who loves learning about different cultures and other ways of life. He first visited Boca Guariviara in 2018 and again in 2021 and has become personally connected to the residents.

Julian leads Millennial Future’s fundraising efforts to collect health care resources that are delivered into the care of local community leaders during the annual retreats. These supplies have helped families meet basic health care needs that would go unresolved when the alternative is a costly trip to the doctor.

Julian stays busy working as a contract artist and sculpturist as well as manages several business ventures. He is a true Renaissance man and a great team member to Millennial Future.
