At the "I Have A Dream" Foundation, we provide long-term individualized social, emotional, and academic support to young people from historically marginalized communities from kindergarten all the way through post-secondary education, along with guaranteed tuition support. We believe that when given equal access to the resources they need to succeed, all children can ignite their innate potential and achieve their dreams.

Dream Big. Go Far.

We love what our dream builders and our community have to say about our work.

  • "My daughter gets help with her homework and is learning English. We don’t always understand what the assignments say, so it means a lot that the program can support her. She always comes home happy, and we’re really grateful."

  • "Volunteering with 'I Have a Dream' has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I’ve seen firsthand how the program gives students the stability, encouragement, and long-term support they need to succeed—not just in school, but in life. For many, it’s the first time they’ve had consistent role models who truly believe in them. The difference it makes is powerful and lasting."
