Successful Adulting by iHutto
To create a generation of skilled, confident, and financially independent young adults who successfully transition from high school into trade careers, entrepreneurship, and responsible adulthood.
The Successful Adulting Initiative is a vital solution to the current skills gap and economic challenges young adults face. By providing trade school access and entrepreneurial support, we empower individuals to take control of their futures. With strategic partnerships, sustainable funding, and a dedicated team, we will create lasting impact and drive economic growth in our communities.
Successful Adulting for Hippos
From budgeting like a pro (yes, groceries do cost that much) to landing your first job, handling car maintenance, cooking something other than ramen, and even mastering the art of networking, this book has you covered. Packed with practical advice, real-world tips, and a dash of humor, it's designed specifically for the fearless (and sometimes clueless) young adults of Hutto, Texas, home of the legendary Hippos.
Our Mission

2
Business Promotion
iHutto is dedicated to promoting local businesses through their sponsorship of "Successful Adulting for Hippos: Things You Didn't Learn in School" which in turn provides useful resources for graduates that receive the book.

For Sponsors: Invest in the Future with the Successful Adulting Initiative
Every year, high school seniors walk across the stage with a diploma in hand, but too many enter adulthood unprepared for what comes next. Successful Adulting: Things You Didn't Learn in School was created to change that.
This isn’t just a book, it’s a toolkit for real life. Covering essential topics like money management, job readiness, basic cooking, emotional wellness, and more, it delivers the life skills most schools don’t teach.
Through the Successful Adulting Initiative, your sponsorship helps put this powerful resource directly into the hands of graduating seniors, free of charge. It’s a meaningful way to connect with the next generation, show your brand’s commitment to the community, and invest in long-term impact.
