The U.S. Dream Academy is helping our nation's children reach for their dreams. We provide a transformative mentoring experience for youth to build character, skills, and dreams in a safe out of school time environment.

Across the nation, there are millions of young people living in high-crime and high-poverty communities who fear they may not live to be an adult. For those young people who also have a parent incarcerated, the future may be even more bleak. For these young people, an absent parent, family instability, the stigma and shame of parental incarceration converges with poverty, crime, and failing public schools to create a dangerous mix of risk factors that significantly increase a child's chances of school failure and future incarceration. Without an intervention, this cycle will continue.

The U.S. Dream Academy is committed to stopping this vicious cycle. Through our innovative afterschool and mentoring program, currently operating in cities nationwide, we are transforming children into dreamers who envision and realize their potential. Our research-based programs challenge young people and engage them in active learning through one-on-one mentoring, tutoring, hands-on STEM activities, exciting field trips, and cloud-based, tailored literacy support.

Our dream – one we invite you to embrace – is to ensure that all children, no matter their start in life, can pursue their own special dreams.
