INSPIRE A DREAM: MENTOR A CHILD!
The I Have a Dream Foundation of Los Angeles (IHAD-LA), founded in 1987, helps underprivileged children become productive citizens by providing a long-term program of academic enhancement, mentoring and cultural enrichment with an assured opportunity for higher education. IHAD-LA adopts the entire first grade class at an under-performing school in an economically disadvantaged neighborhood and provides those students with free year-round programs through high school (12 years). The graduation rate for Dreamers, as we call our students, is more than double that of the LAUSD. After graduation, IHAD-LA guarantees every Dreamer a scholarship to pursue college or vocational training.
