THE PROBLEM

You cannot have economic development and community development without youth development!

Our society thrives on artistry, entrepreneurial spirit, and leadership to drive progress. New creative ideas and new businesses generate economic activity that builds vibrant communities and enriches our world. Yet, our schools often lack the resources and programs that expose young people to these essentials.

Arts education has experienced decades of declining funding, entrepreneurship curriculum has largely been nonexistent, and transformational leadership seems absent in many sectors of our society. Additionally, programs and activities held in the routine school environment do not always inspire young people’s creativity and outside-the-box thinking.

That’s where Believe In A Dream comes into the picture!

OUR SOLUTION

By pursuing our mission and creating immersive experiences outside of the typical school environment, we work to foster creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and leadership mentality among young people in our community, inspiring the next generation to Dream, Believe, and Do — that is, to dream big, to believe in themselves and their abilities, and to take action and risk.
