DREAM Iowa

DREAM Iowa's vision is to convert Iowa into the epicenter for immigrant success. DREAM Iowa's mission is to stimulate and carry forward the gradual shift from generational poverty to generational wealth for immigrant Iowans.

We manifest our vision through our services centered around wealth development for immigrant Iowans. DREAM Iowa connects students to resources through our annual Youth Leadership Summit, which unites immigrants from across the state once a year to empower with knowledge, skill development, civic engagement, and strategy for growth. This is fortified through scholarships provided to immigrant students pursuing higher education. In order to build sustainable outcomes, we intentionally extend culturally competent financial independence workshops to underserved communities across the state. Along the way, we document the history of the current generation of immigrant Iowans to highlight our contributions to society.
