Welcome to I Have a Dream - Las Vegas

"I had a dream and my dream was to graduate from high school. My dream has come true! IHAD made my dreams possible."
- Dreamer Dion, Desert Pines High School class of 2011 & University of Nevada, Las Vegas class of 2015

The goal of the "81" Campaign is to secure the financial resources needed to achieve an 81% graduation rate, and pathways to higher education, for Clark County's disadvantaged youth.

BECAUSE:

  • 72% of at-risk youth in the United States DO NOT graduate from high school.
  • An at-risk youth who does not graduate from high school has a 95% higher chance of committing a crime and of being incarcerated.
  • Nevada ranks 50th in the nation for education.

OUR SUCCESES INCLUDE:

  • 81% of our Dreamers are projected to graduate from high school.
  • 34 Dreamers are currently enrolled in college or vocational training.
  • Every Dreamer will be given the opportunity to receive a college education.

In order to continue delivering these results to the community, we must raise $300,000 or we will have to sunset the program.

Please show your support for the Dreamers and for the "I Have a Dream" Foundation's commitment to providing them with the scholarships, counseling, mentoring, academic support and love they need to fulfill their dreams of a better tomorrow.
