Our MissionThe mission of the “I Have a Dream” program is to motivate andempower children from low-income communities to reach theireducational and career goals by providing a long-term interventionprogram of mentoring, tutoring, and cultural enrichment. Upongraduation from high school, each Dreamer is eligible to receive alast-dollar, four-year tuition-assistance scholarship for college orvocational school.Our HistoryThe “I Have a Dream” Foundation of Boulder County was foundedin 1990 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. The program followsthe national “I Have a Dream” model established in New York in1981 by founder Eugene Lang. Once funding is secured, cohorts ofapproximately 50 low-income elementary school children who aredeemed at high risk for dropping out of high school are identifiedwith the assistance of local school districts and housing-authoritypersonnel. A learning center is established exclusively for that groupto provide comprehensive long-term program support for everychild from elementary school through high school. The ultimategoal of “I Have a Dream” is for each Dreamer to graduate from highschool prepared for higher education or a fulfilling career.Our ImpactThe “I Have a Dream” Foundation of Boulder County is increasing high-school graduation ratesand creating a clear pathway to college and a brighter future for low-income kids in Boulder County.✿✿✿“I Have a Dream” Boulder County is one of the largest affiliates in the country with sixactive and four graduated classes of Dreamers.

HELPING DREAMERS BECOME ACHIEVERS — ONE CHILD AT A TIMEDecember 2011Dear Friends and Supporters,Welcome to our 2010-2011 annual report, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the“I Have a Dream” Foundation of Boulder County.Among many anniversary highlights, one of our proudest moments was the launchof our tenth Dreamer class – a group of 50 second-graders from Columbine ElementarySchool in Boulder. With sponsorship commitments from 37 donor individuals and families,the Phoenix Class is the most broadly supported Dreamer class to date, and we are gratefulfor this new “Sponsor-a-Dreamer” model of support that fosters a vibrant community ofparticipation in the lives of these children.Since our inception in 1990, we have served more than 500 low-income youth andtheir families in Boulder County, dramatically reducing the high-school drop-out rateand increasing college attendance for these low-income youth. We have distributed a totalof $1,008,000 in college and vocational school scholarships for tuition and books for 183graduated Dreamers, thanks to the generosity of our class sponsors. With six active classes,we remain one of the largest and most successful “I Have a Dream” affiliates in the country.In spring of 2010, we celebrated the high-school graduation of 11 Dreamers fromLongmont. We also recruited, interviewed, and trained 176 volunteer tutors and mentorsto work individually with Dreamers to provide academic, social and personal support.Thanks to community support from throughout Boulder County, we enjoyed severalsuccessful events – the 20th Anniversary Dream-Maker Luncheon, the 8th annual GolfTournament, a donor appreciation event featuring Stephen Tebo’s private collection ofclassic and rare vehicles, and a new Kitchens Are Cooking tour that showcased the workof interior designers and builders in ten homes for the benefit of “I Have a Dream”. Weare grateful to the many underwriters, donors, volunteers and participants responsible forthese successes.For the tenth consecutive year, the Notre Dame Mission Volunteer Program andthe Corporation for National and Community Service awarded funding to recruit 17AmeriCorps members and a VISTA member who provided a year of service to ourprogram and the Dreamers.In late 2010, the “I Have a Dream” Board of Directors announced an intention tolaunch a new class of Dreamers in each of the next five years, adding 250 new studentsto the program by 2015. To accomplish this will require the participation of new donorsand volunteers, in addition to the continuing commitment of the many individuals andorganizations who have created this legacy of long-term support for children from lowincomefamilies in our community.You can help build support for these new classes by introducing more people to ourwork and sharing your commitment to “I Have a Dream”. We are deeply grateful for yourgenerosity as we reaffirm our commitment to helping these young people achieve theirdreams. Thank you for giving in so many ways.Sincerely,2011 Board of DirectorsMichael Greenwood, ChairPat O’Brien, Vice ChairSue Bailhache, SecretaryRajul Pandya, Past ChairPerry AshleyPeter AweidaRobert C.
