Next Steps...

Our group has had a couple of meetings with our partner school and we couldn't be more excited about our progress! We hope to bring our Dream Lab student and her classmates to our class in early March to help them understand what "college" life is like, to show them around campus, and to expose them to some of our classmates from varying professional backgrounds. We are so thrilled to be working with such a great group of kids!

Our plan continues to be to set up a network to help bridge the gap for these students and others like them, whether through providing funds for tuition support, matching them with mentors, or helping them learn the necessary skills required for success at college.

If you are also passionate about bridging the gap in education -- keep checking back here for ways you can help! We also welcome any ideas or feedback you have for us.

Success!!

We are so happy to have chosen a student for our project.  More details to come, but she really is an amazing girl.  We are all looking forward to spending more time with her, and listening to what she needs and how we can help.  Look forward to a formal introduction soon!

Our mission

We are graduate students passionate about making a difference.  As part of a class project, we have been given the task to "change one person's life."  And we will strive to change many. Our goal is to assist low-income, underprivileged students in receiving the education needed to fulfill their dreams by creating a platform that better connects them with those who are willing to help.

Absolutely anyone can help.  Whether you have extra money to donate, extra time to help tutor, extra supplies to give away, or an extra minute to give a word of encouragement - YOU CAN HELP.

We have narrowed down our first Dream Lab recipient to two students in East Palo Alto.  Once we have chosen a student, you can read about their dreams and progress via a blog.  Please check back often as we are making progress daily!
