It's not every day we celebrate our first decade of tackling barriers for marginalized youth across the Chicagoland! When we decided to mark the occasion with a gala, we knew we wanted to have a celebration, but more importantly, we knew we wanted to make an impact on our students. These past ten years were all about their stories, hopes, and dreams. In the next iCan Dream Center chapter, we continue the mission to connect youth to innovative special education services. We will continue to respond to the urgent need to slow the school to prison pipeline in suburban Chicago and beyond. We remain committed to making a positive contribution by fostering an education setting where at-risk youth have access to the skills, resources, and opportunties to thrive beyond their labels.
YOU CAN HELP US GET TO THE NEXT STEP.
On October 5th, we are fundraising for the Bridge to Work Project, a critical equity-rich initiative that strives to give students who are exiting high school an opportunity to continue special education transition services on campus of their local community college.
All funds will ensure students have access to high-skill, high-wage workforce opportunities after high school in industries such as medical, information technology, trucking and manufacturing, and much more.
YOUR ATTENDANCE MATTERS.
