DREAM’s 2024 Year in Review is here! When a community believes in the unlimited potential of children, extraordinary things happen—and this year proved it. From achieving the highest academic proficiency in our network's history to reaching over 1,000 students through summer programs, it’s been a year of growth and achievement. We also opened our third campus in the South Bronx, a permanent home for DREAM Highbridge. These milestones show what’s possible when high expectations meet deep support. That’s the DREAM Difference.

We are so grateful to the amazing teams from Blue Owl Capital, Bank of America, Apollo Global Management, Inc., and the Daneker Family for their time and effort in packing 300 individual bags filled with dry goods, fresh produce, non-perishables, and snacks.

Teamwork makes the DREAM work. Together, we’re building stronger communities and brighter holidays for all.

At DREAM, education goes beyond the classroom. Just ask Ravik Romulus, a senior whose journey has been filled with purpose—from sports and after-school programs to a life-changing trip to Colombia. “School hasn’t always been easy for me,” Ravik shares. “But the out-of-school opportunities at DREAM helped me build strong relationships. When I stumble, they pick me up. When I succeed, they cheer me on. At DREAM, I’m part of a team.” This is the DREAM Difference. Will you help ensure every student has access to these opportunities? GIVE TODAY! Double your impact—your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $100,000! #DREAMDifference #MakeADifference

What does it mean for a school to truly know a student? For Angelica Rodriguez, it means everything. Every morning, she passes five other schools to bring her son Craig to DREAM because she knows it’s where he’ll get exactly what he needs to thrive. From his love of dance to his big emotions, Craig is seen and supported every day. At DREAM, we believe families are our most critical partners. From home visits to daily communication, we’re building relationships that ensure every child feels known, seen, and loved. Today, your gift can go twice as far! Thanks to a generous matching challenge, every dollar donated will be matched, up to $100,000. Help us continue providing the individualized support and opportunities that every DREAM family deserves. Donate today and make the DREAM difference!
