We are incredibly excited to share our 2024-2028 Strategic Plan: Bending the Arc. This is our blueprint for realizing the long-term potential of the children we serve and the communities where we work. Together, we are bending the arc toward equity for every child, every family, every community. We are building something that doesn’t exist anywhere else. Read more: https://lnkd.in/g82R9s85
Über uns
Originally founded as Harlem RBI, DREAM traces its beginnings to 1991, when a group of volunteers transformed an abandoned, garbage-strewn lot into two baseball diamonds for the youth of East Harlem. Over three decades later, we serve thousands of children across East Harlem and the Bronx through a network of free DREAM Charter Schools and afterschool and summer programming. From our schools to our playing fields, DREAM is committed to building a team where each individual can bring their full identity and experience to work because representation matters. We are dedicated to creating a world where youth, especially youth of color, have permission to dream—along with the tools and opportunities to make their dreams reality.

✨ We dream bigger when we dream together! ✨ The 2024 DREAM Big Institute brought us together to rally around "Bending the Arc," our bold new strategic plan. We were deeply inspired by keynotes from Misty Copeland and Colin Kaepernick, who shared how impactful educators recognized their potential and shaped their futures. This powerful reminder reinforces our commitment to shaping a future where every single child, from every single zip code, can influence and lead generational change. Over the next five years, DREAM is committed to: • Growing our impact by offering an education that empowers students to take control of their futures. • Investing in people by fostering long-term, supportive relationships. • Building for future dreams by ensuring our organization remains strong and responsive to the needs of our students and families. By 2028, we’ll serve 2,800 students across three permanent campuses, growing from the 1,800 we currently serve. With this renewed focus and the energy, we’re ready to bend the arc toward equity and create lasting impact for our Bronx and Harlem communities.

DREAM reposted this
Today was the last day of New Staff Institute & I am so excited about the new teachers in our building. They all engaged so thoughtfully with each session, prioritized practice, asked great questions, and brought their authentic selves into the space. Our scholars are so lucky to have them & I look forward to supporting them in doing their best work this school year!
