About Us
We Are, First and Foremost, DREAM!
In everything we do, we support, unite, and inspire our collective mission to close the opportunity gap, empowering tomorrow’s generation to tackle new and amazing challenges. The community we build fosters trust, love, and smiles. It’s hard to walk into a DREAM community, wearing a DREAM shirt, without getting a hug from another DREAMer, even if they’re a stranger to you.
The Opportunity Gap
We started DREAM with an understanding that the current system favors only a few. Many people lack access to resources that should be basic rights, and this can be a barrier to achieving their full potential. Our goal is to fill that gap.
How We Fight It
We operate six no-cost programs as our vehicle for change. Each of these programs is implemented with the communities we serve, ensuring every initiative meets the unique needs and aspirations of our youth and families.
What We DREAM
Our mission is to close the opportunity gap for children and teens through deep community collaboration and sustained mentoring relationships.
How We DREAM
We value grassroots efforts, strong relationships, transparency, playfulness, and adventure. We believe our programs empower every child and teen to reach their full potential in educational excellence, personal growth, and civic engagement.
Why We DREAM
We envision a future where every child and teen, regardless of their background, thrives with equity and sustainability, breaking systemic barriers.
