The Dominican Republic Education and Mentoring (DREAM) Project is an amazing nonprofit organization thats focuses on early childhood education, high quality primary education, holistic youth development, as well as cultural enrichment to thousands of unpriviledged youth in the Caribbean island.
The “dream” started in 1995 when a group of Dartmouth College students came down for a semester to volunteer in the two public schools in Cabarete, Dominican Republic.
Today, DREAM helps more than 6,000 children receive a better education through its 14 programs in 15 different communities, affecting the lives of over 7,000 community members.
