"I Have a Dream" Oregon: Creating Opportunities for Educational Advancement
"I Have a Dream" Foundation's mission is to empower students in low income communities with high school, college and career opportunities.
"I Have a Dream" Foundation is an Oregon based organization that places a strong emphasis on preparing the youth of tomorrow for upcoming success.
Jess Fern, an employee of "I Have a Dream," believes that her own experience without having resources and access to education is a driving force behind why her work with the foundation has so much meaning.
"We want to empower youth by strengthening their future; by helping them to launch a career in high school, college, and career through opportunity."
