MISSION - WHAT WE DO

At Dream.org we close prison doors and open doors of opportunity. We bring people together across racial, social, and partisan lines to create a future with freedom, dignity, and opportunity for all.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

The Green For All program uplifts the voices of working class families and people of color in the climate movement. We work to ensure that, as the green economy grows, all communities will benefit from good jobs, better health, and increased opportunity. Confronting both poverty and pollution, we have successfully directed more than $55 billion in federal funding to green investments that have created climate resilience and wealth opportunities for the most impacted communities. Together, we dream of a healthy, sustainable future that is green for all, not green for some. Green For All was an independent organization founded by Van Jones before it merged with Dream Corps in 2014. The Justice program brings together leaders impacted by the criminal justice system with unlikely allies spanning the political divide to push for bold and innovative criminal justice solutions. Our network of unlikely allies has built consensus for reform among Republicans and Democrats at the state and federal level. Our Dignity for Incarcerated Women campaign has improved living conditions for more than 30,000 women incarcerated in 14 states. We’ve spearheaded historic bipartisan federal reform legislation, including the First Step Act, that has brought more than 18,000 people home from behind bars. Together, we create second chances and work to transform our criminal justice system. This program was previously known as Dream Corps JUSTICE and #Cut50. The Tech program provides opportunities to underrepresented communities giving them the training and tools they need to become architects of the future. The Tech program works with major corporate partners to place talented people in high-paying careers. We support them with funding, training, and community to help diversify the technology industry. Our recent tech cohort graduates now earn a $70,000+ starting salary, with an average salary increase of $30-40,000. Together, we are creating a pipeline of diverse talent that will shift the culture of the tech sector. This program was previously known as Dream Corps TECH and #YesWeCode.
