I'm a fromer Dreamer of the Chesela 2 Cohort and currently working for the "I Have a Dream Foundation". The Have a Dream Foundation is a great orgainzation, providing kids with a life long bond and opening them up to new oppurtunties. If I did not join this program, I would not have gone on feild trips, be on overnight college visits, getting into partnership interships, and in workshops that taught you life skills. A workshop could be on finaincail aid, college autonmy, intership/resume support, and more. Also with each cohort, you have staff and directors who go on the jounery with you until college. So you definitely build strong bonds with the program and the individuals who make the "I Have a Dream Foundation" what it is today.

The "I Have A Dream" Foundation is unique in its inclusive and long term approach! They work with students from elementary school all the way to and through college, and they work with ALL students, regardless of academic achievement. It is rare to find an organization with such an inclusive and equitable lens.

My relationship with IHDF is great. The program directors have a relationship with their students in a way that i've never seen. and because the students trust them, they trust us.
