Since our founding in August 2012, the New York DREAM Foundation has been dedicated to empowering immigrant students and first-generation students from immigrant families to overcome barriers and achieve their educational dreams. As a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we rely on the support of our community to fulfill our mission.
We are excited to announce that we are in the process of developing new programs to expand our reach and create even more opportunities for these students. Together, we can continue to transform lives and build a brighter future for all.
We envision a future where every immigrant and first-generation student has the opportunity to thrive through education and community support–creating a society where dreams are realized and diversity is celebrated.
Our mission is to empower immigrant and first-generation students by providing scholarships, mentorship, and resources that remove barriers to education, enabling them to achieve their goals and uplift their communities.
Every child is born with unlimited potential to achieve greatness. It is my greatest honor to help unlock that potential and to provide a helping hand to students who are willing to work hard to achieve their dreams.
