The "I Have a Dream"® Program helps children from low-income areas reach their education and career goals by providing a long-term program of mentoring, tutoring, and enrichment with an assured opportunity for higher education.


Local "I Have a Dream"® Projects adopt an entire same-grade from an elementary school or an entire age group from a public housing development. They work with this group of children (the "Dreamers") and their families year-round from their elementary school years through college.

With over 180 Projects in 64 cities across 27 states (75 of which are currently active), "I Have a Dream"® has now served over 13,500 students during its more than two decades of operation. Many Dreamers who go to college are the first members of their families to do so.
