About this organization
Mission
The 'I Have a Dream' Foundation empowers children in under-resourced communities to achieve higher education and fulfill their leadership potential by providing them with guaranteed tuition support and equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and habits they need to gain entry to higher education and succeed in college and beyond. By helping our Dreamers gain access to college, we are putting our Dreamers on a different academic and life trajectory, while having a broader impact on the students' families and the generations that follow.
About
Dreamer and affiliate support - The 'I Have a Dream' Foundation provides guidance, resources, and technical assistance to 17 'I Have a Dream' affiliates across the nation, with the goal of ensuring that our 3,153 students, called 'Dreamers', graduate from high school prepared to enroll in and complete a postsecondary education. Our office works with affiliates to provide best practices, learning exchanges, and national convenings, as well as more targeted program support through site visits, phone consultations, and other technical assistance. In addition, the national office develops partnerships to provide resources to our Dreamers and affiliates. The foundation sponsors an annual leadership development conference for middle and high school Dreamers from across the United States. Each year we hold the Dreamer conference on a college campus in different parts of the country.
