The DREAM Program
The DREAM (Developing Resilience through Economic Advancement and Mentorship) Program is designed to help marginalized youth meet the challenges of today's competitive digital entrepreneurship landscape.
To ensure Black, Latine, and tribal community youth aged 16 to 24 gain the trauma-informed advisement needed to prevent poverty, The DREAM Program guides each participant from early-concept to selling their first product/service on the internet.
By the end of the 3-month program, DREAMERs will present their original business venture to an investor panel, receive hours of business consulting and mentorship, join their peers in minority-owned business field trips, and create a profit-driven business plan.
Orientation begins Winter 2025.
