Dream Big Now
A locally-based, globally connected youth program
Get students off of Zoom and safely serving their community!
Dream Big Now! is a program for high school and middle school students, eager to give back to their communities, to get outside and make change. In small groups, they will learn about challenges our world is facing and potential solutions to those challenges. Additionally, they connect with other inspiring young people making a positive impact in other parts of the world. This service and leadership development program includes COVID-safe local service activities, as well as lessons and discussions led by experienced teachers.
The programs are separate (numbers permitting) for middle and high school students in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties.

Testimonials
“The program has taught me the impact of doing community service and the amazing amount of bonding we can do and the difference we can make by working together as a team and being guided by great leaders.”
“Lisa and Vincent both had a wonderful experience on your Dream Volunteers Summer Program. The camp was very well done. We were impressed. Thank you for all your hard work
“This experience has allowed me to empathize with and learn about those who live differently from me. I’ve realized that although we have our differences, there are many ways in which we are the same. This program has also inspired me to continue with my community service work.“
