I HAVE A DREAM FOUNDATION - NEW JERSEY

Mission Statement

The "I Have A Dream" Foundation-New Jersey works to ensure that all children have the opportunity to pursue higher education, fulfill their potential, and achieve their dreams. We empower children ("Dreamers") in under-resourced communities to graduate from college by equipping them with the skills and knowledge to succeed in postsecondary school, along with tuition support to remove financial barriers. By helping our Dreamers gain access to college, we are putting them on a different academic and life trajectory, while having a broader impact on the students' families and the generations that follow. IHDFNJ works with Dreamers after school, on the weekends, and over the summer for over ten years, developing long-term relationships with Dreamers and their families. We provide academic social-emotional support, mentoring, after-school and summer enrichment to Dreamers, equipping them with the confidence and life skills needed to pursue their most ambitious dreams.
