Anxiety and depression are common challenges faced by teenagers, with certain groups being more vulnerable. The Dream Big College is dedicated to addressing these issues. As a nonprofit organization, we partner with schools and community organizations to support and empower all teens as they discover their inner greatness. Our mission is to foster healing and activate their voices, guiding them to become changemakers within their communities. We are committed to breaking the cycle of mental health struggles and providing a platform for all young people to thrive and lead with confidence and purpose.

Our Philosophy is embedded within our Reposition Framework which empowers individuals to:
• Heal as they understand the power of their story
• Use their story as a blueprint to build a life of purpose
DreamBig College is a youth development center that empowers teens and young
adults to navigate life’s key transitions with confidence, purpose, and resilience.
By partnering with families and communities, we guide youth in developing Soar Plans, engaging in one-on-one counseling, and leading community impact projects that prepare them for high school, college, and the world of work.
We envision a future where every teen and young adult is equipped with the skills, confidence, and support to thrive through life’s transitions. DreamBig College will be a trusted hub where families, schools, and communities unite to nurture resilient leaders, change makers, and innovators who boldly pursue their dreams and create lasting impact in their communities and beyond.
