Our vision is that one day, all children from low-income communities will have an equal opportunity to complete high school, achieve postsecondary education, and fully capitalize on their talents and aspirations to become productive global citizens. We sponsor cohorts of students in under-resourced public schools or housing developments, and work with these "dreamers" from early elementary school all the way through high school. Upon high school graduation, each dreamer receives guaranteed tuition assistance for higher education. While each "I have a dream" program is localized to meet the specific needs of its dreamers, all of our programs share common elements 26 26 48 233 0 4125355 4336416 35408 39317 235429 30966 -154428 -174757 4241764 4231942 401830 461711 0 2788917 3112435 0 212865 1338810 1430310 4529557 5004456 -287793 -772514 3458390 3361156 551254 913937 2907136 2447219 X The "I have a dream" foundation (IHDF) expands educational opportunities for children living in under-resourced communities by empowering them to achieve higher education and providing them with guaranteed tuition support and equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need to gain entry to and succeed in college and beyond. We have learned a tremendous amout over the last 43 years. First, getting our students to college is critical but not enough. Second, we must embrace innovative ways of motivating and encouraging K-12 Dreamers as they prepare for College.Building on these insights, we have developed the following programs: (1) A postsecondary support program; and (2) a college savings account (CSA) Program. Both Programs are designed to encourage Dreamers, Families, communities and businesses to invest Directly into the success of our dreamers so that our students are equipped to not only start but complete college. false false 3913010 461711 Dreamer Scholar & Affiliate Chapter Support - The "I Have A Dream" Foundation provides guidance, resources, and technical assistance to "I Have A Dream" Foundation Affiliates and Chapters across the globe, with the goal of ensuring that our 2,291 students, called "Dreamer Scholars", graduate from high school prepared to enroll in and complete a postsecondary education. National staff work with Affiliates and Chapters to provide best practices, learning exchanges, and national professional development convenings, as well as more targeted program support through site visits, phone consultations, and other technical assistance. In addition, the national headquarters develops partnerships to provide resources to our Dreamer Scholars across the Network. The Foundation hosts an annual leadership development conference for Affiliate and Chapter staff. Each year we hold a summer immersion program (Dream University Prep) for middle and high school Dreamer Scholars from across the United States at a college campus. Program Strategy & Design - The "I Have A Dream" Foundation increases the organization's impact by constantly evaluating and improving our efforts to support current Affiliates and Chapters. The Foundation conducts annual surveys to evaluate current program offerings across the Network and provides resources to address areas that need improvement. The Foundation has implemented a college savings account (CSA) program at several Affiliates, with the goal of rolling out the program across the broader network. Using a cohort model, each Dreamer Scholar journey stretches over more than a decade of wrap-around programming. Throughout, we maintain a holistic approach that centers Dreamer Scholars overall well-being and anticipates developing needs and areas of focus as they reach new milestones. This ensures that the youth in our cohorts receive the broad-based, consistent support they need over time to develop into healthy, productive adults. Affiliate and Chapter staff stay closely connected with students throughout their schooling and beyond, offering a trusted and guiding presence. Six core pillars guide our year-round programming:Academic Enrichment & Support: Dreamer Scholars receive general and targeted academic support to excel from kindergarten through college.Socio-Emotional Learning & Life Skills: Our programs are designed to help students develop healthy identities, achieve goals, show empathy for others, establish and maintain relationships, and make responsible, healthy decisions.Family Partnership & Engagement: We work with families to include them in the process so we can work as partners in helping their students thrive.Post-Secondary Preparation and Work Readiness: Dreamer Scholars engage with staff and community partners to chart a path to reach their postsecondary and career aspirations and gain workplace readiness skills through career workshops, job tours and paid internships. IHDF also provides a guaranteed post-secondary scholarship. Mentoring & Support Networks: Dreamer Scholars are matched with long-term, reliable, supportive, and caring adults who provide individualized guidance and connection and serve as positive role models.Leadership & Civic Engagement: We promote community engagement and civic leadership, instilling Dreamer Scholars with the sense of belonging and responsibility that comes from being part of a larger community.
