A Boy and His Dream Foundation 

The foundation seeks to provide youth with the ability to take charge of their lives and overcome obstacles and adversities.  The determination to succeed, no matter the cost, is a story we believe gives hope.  A Boy and His Dream Foundation's focus is to give back to communities the opportunities and knowledge to be successful and healthy.  We achieve this through feeding the homeless, speaking events, and educating our youth through pro bono workshops on local, national, and international levels.  Our goal is to inspire struggling youth to realize there is hope for their future and to inspire change.  We hope that you will join us on this journey.
