Mission Statement

At the "I Have A Dream" Foundation, we provide individualized social, emotional, and academic support to young people ("Dreamers") from under-resourced communities from kindergarten all the way through college, 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. Since "I Have A Dream" was founded by Eugene Lang in 1981, we have served nearly 18,000 Dreamers in over 200 programs nationally.

Description

90% of Dreamers graduate High School, compared to 74% of low-income students nationally.
Dreamers are over 3x more likely to earn a bachelor's degree than their low-income peers.
College graduates earn, on average, an additional $1 Million in lifetime earnings.
