Bringing joy & inspiration to underserved youth
Together we can make dreams come true.
Every kid deserves a front-row seat to their own dream. We turn donated access into unforgettable days for young people who need them most.
Our mission
Bring the moment the lights come up to every kid.
We bring joy and inspiration to underserved youth by providing access to unforgettable experiences that celebrate their individual passions — from the excitement of taking in a live event to hands-on opportunities learning directly from a master of their craft. We believe that every kid deserves a chance to have that unforgettable moment when something they love comes to life.
What we make possible
Our Dream Experiences
Different kinds of access, one goal: creating a day each kid will never forget.
Music & arts
Front-row to the show
Concerts by their favorite artists, live theater and dance, film screenings, museum and studio tours.
Sporting events
In the stands, in the game
Live sporting events with their favorite teams and players — the roar of the crowd, in person.
Skill & passion
Time with a master
Hands-on workshops in a passion area of their choosing, paired with a master of that craft or interest.
Our impact
Why a single experience matters.
We believe access to enriching experiences, cultural events, and extracurricular learning can change the shape of a childhood.
- Create joy and lasting memories that stay with kids for a lifetime.
- Spark curiosity, provide inspiration, and offer a chance to explore passions.
- Open doors to new possibilities and foster a sense of wonder.
- Give a child a reprieve from any hardships they may be facing.
- Provide access to experiences children might not otherwise have.
Why it matters
The need is real, and close to home.
“Children in foster care have experienced abuse, neglect, and other adverse childhood experiences that can negatively impact their health. In fact, half of all kids in foster care have endured four or more adverse childhood experiences.”

How it works
The Dream Experience process
01Who we serve: the kids
We work with community partners, schools, and social-service organizations in and around Los Angeles to identify kids facing hardships – including those in the foster or social-services system – to connect them with experiences that align with their personal interests and passions.
02Identifying individual passions
We get to know each kid – what they love, what lights them up. A Dream is built around a real passion, not a one-size-fits-all gift, so every experience is made just for them.
03Sourcing opportunities with our sponsors
Every Dream is sourced from donated access — tickets, passes, mentorships, and experiences contributed by our partners and sponsors. That’s how your gift goes further.
04Making dreams come true
We handle the logistics end-to-end so the day is seamless — and the kid gets to do nothing but enjoy the moment the lights come up.
For partners & sponsors
Interested in sponsoring an experience?
We partner with corporate sponsors, individuals, and other nonprofits to source and bring Dream Experiences to kids — starting in Los Angeles, and built to grow city by city.
