What drives lasting impact is not simply the accumulation of moments, but how the effect of DREAM's work and intention compounds over time.

A Message From Leadership

In the early days of the education reform movement, many believed the answer was “more”: more hours, more days, more instruction. And while extended learning over the school day and all year round remains one of DREAM’s defining strengths, our journey over three-plus decades has taught us something deeper. What drives lasting impact is not simply the accumulation of moments, but also how the effect of DREAM’s work and intention compounds over time.

This past year showed us again what DREAM’s commitment makes possible. Our teams operated with clarity and alignment. Our campuses served more students than ever before. Our academic performance reached its highest levels to date. Our staff is committed to our families and grounded in the mission. And we were just awarded a historic Head Start grant to begin serving our littlest DREAMers from ages 0-4 at all three of our campuses. These are not isolated wins — they are the result of many years of shared purpose and steady work.

DREAM students in action

For us as leaders, this moment brings us to a point of reflection and resolve. We see an organization at its strongest, powered by people who understand that long-term outcomes require long-term investment. We see students who are growing not just academically, but through relationships, opportunities, and experiences that accumulate into confidence and agency. And we see families and partners ready to dive into the work alongside us because they know DREAM will show up.

DREAM’s vision requires us to continue to expand opportunity, deepen belonging, and build systems that honor the full arc of a young person’s development — from early learning through college and career. We are ready for more because our students are ready for more, our communities need more and because the future we all deserve calls us forward.

Onward,

TheLong Game

This is the story of transformation through time. Day by day, week by week, year by year. It's about making investments earlier, deeper, and longer for our children and our communities. It's about creating generational change.

Over three decades, we’ve learned that meaningful change doesn't happen in isolated moments — it happens over time, when every moment is purposeful and connected. This Year in Review celebrates how DREAM turns time into transformation: the daily hours that shape learning and belonging, the seasons that nurture growth, and the years that define a generation of impact.

We’ll show what it means to use time well: from the extended learning and summer programs that give students more time to thrive, to the innovative ways our educators and partners maximize each moment, to the quality time we share with families around food and community. And we’ll trace how those moments compound across the long continuum of a DREAM education — early learning through college and career — to show that our investment in time is really an investment in people, purpose, and possibility.

34
Years of DREAM

Thirty-four years ago, DREAM began as a neighborhood baseball program. Since then we have grown — in direct response to the needs of our communities — into a network of charter schools with an extended-day and extended year model, holistic support for family and students, and a robust alumni program.

0–24
Ages We Serve

We’re with families from the start. From early learning at birth, all the way through high school, then six more years of college persistence support and career advising through our Legends program. DREAM’s support evolves as our students grow, following them from early childhood into their twenties.

24/7
365 Days a Year

DREAM’s doors are always open. Students join their peers for breakfast before classes begin. After school brings enrichments like swimming, theater, music, and basketball. Evenings bring community suppers, showcases, and family meetings.

Chapter One

More Time

At DREAM, we've always understood the importance of time spent outside the school day. Our founding was rooted in after-school and summer programs. And even as we've grown into a PreK-12 charter network to serve students during the school day, we have seen the unmistakable impact of students learning and growing beyond the classroom. Research clearly points to the role of enrichment activities in helping students persist through college and beyond.

This year, DREAM deepened our commitment to building a holistic experience for our students by further integrating our school day, after-school, and summer programs. For example, our school-day and after-school staff work in direct partnership, and we closely track participation in enrichment opportunities for all of our students.

Fanta Fall and Denim Kearse are everywhere at DREAM Charter High School. On the court during basketball practice. In the summer working with younger kids. They're seniors now, and their lives reflect what happens when students have time and space to discover their strengths.

Fanta started at DREAM in ninth grade and immediately packed her schedule: varsity basketball, yearbook, volleyball, Girls Club, photography, and the Muslim Student Association. But she's learned to balance it all.

“I always put academics first. Because if you don’t have good grades, you can’t do what you love.”Fanta Fall, DREAM Senior

Last summer, she decided to take on lifeguard training through a DREAM summer program, thinking it would be easy since she already knew how to swim. But the program pushed her. It included CPR for babies and adults, the Heimlich maneuver, and brick tests. When she passed, something shifted.

“I didn’t know I was able to do hard things like this. I can literally help someone.”Fanta Fall

Today, she works as a certified lifeguard near DREAM’s Mott Haven campus.


Denim’s journey started back in first grade with Harlem RBI playing baseball on the Field of Dreams. Today, he’s come full circle as a Project Coach at DREAM’s summer employment program, teaching the same lessons he once learned. During the school year, he’s a starting point guard, and both basketball and coaching have taught him what leadership requires: patience, focus, and follow-through.

“I have to practice what I preach.”Demin Kearse, DREAM Senior

Through paid roles and real responsibility, ELE has given both Fanta and Denim years to turn interests into skills and skills into opportunity. DREAM's years of investment prepare students, helping them know exactly what they're capable of.

INNOVATING WITH TIME

At DREAM, innovation is a commitment to shaping a stronger future for our students. As the first charter network and first K-12 district in New York State to implement ChatGPT Enterprise, DREAM is leading the nation in responsible, equity-driven AI implementation. Our approach ensures that technology supports learning while preserving the central role of teachers, giving educators powerful tools and students personalized guidance. By expanding access, improving instruction, and preparing young people for a world where AI fluency is essential, we are demonstrating what it means to play the long game with technology, always keeping students at the center.

Marjorie Levinson and Ashlee Robateau, co-teachers in a seventh-grade English Language and Arts (ELA) class at DREAM East Harlem, know that each student takes a different pathway to success. For Jomeilin, a seventh grader with documented learning differences, traditional writing assignments were often overwhelming.

But one afternoon, something clicked. Their classroom had started using an AI tool called Course Mojo, which breaks complex tasks into manageable steps. Working at his own pace, Jomeilin pulled his evidence, crafted his claim, and hit submit. When a 3 out of 4 flashed on screen, he lit up and asked, "Can I call my mom?"

“As the first charter network and first K-12 district school in New York State to implement ChatGPT Enterprise, DREAM has become a model for harnessing this technology to enhance student success and teacher well-being.”

This story is one of many that exemplifies how DREAM is leading the nation in responsible, equity-driven AI implementation. As the first charter network and first K-12 district in New York State to implement ChatGPT Enterprise, DREAM has become a model for harnessing this technology to enhance student success and teacher well-being.


Both Marjorie and Ashlee have moved from being AI skeptics to nuanced believers. Both once worried that AI would become "a crutch for students who most need to build independence." The reason for their shift is that DREAM got the details right. Every new staff member receives AI training in their first month. Every tool is vetted and tested before it reaches students, ensuring success for the students who need it most.

“We can pivot on the same day or next day now. We used to wait a week to see what students didn’t understand.”Marjorie Levinson, Co-Teacher

Teachers feel the difference immediately. As Marjorie puts it, "We can pivot on the same day now. We used to wait a week to see what students didn't understand." Across DREAM's network, that responsiveness adds up: 50 hours saved per teacher annually, translating into $5.7M of staff time saved and redeployed to higher leverage tasks.


By the time today's sixth graders graduate college, half of all jobs will expect them to use AI. DREAM envisions that ten years from now, alumni will be coding AI tools, leading teams, and creating pathways to opportunity for entire communities.


For Jomeilin and his classmates, the future started that afternoon.

Quality Time

At DREAM, we've learned something simple but powerful over 30 years. When you invest in families, you build community. Family partnership is at the core of all that we do. Over the last several years, we’ve put our focus on supporting our families with food security.

This year, our Scratch Food Program provided more than 677,000 school-day meals. The Community Support Hub - a DREAM Food Pantry - supported 1,267 families with biweekly grocery bags, each covering roughly 15 days of meals. And we launched a pilot Community Suppers program which brought families and students together to break bread, connect with other families, and get access to resources.

Through these initiatives, we’ve been grateful to see the needs of our community met, our families volunteering to give back, and more opportunities to spend meaningful time together.

Josie and her fifth grade daughter, Riley, have been part of the DREAM community for years. In that time, they’ve been able to turn to DREAM in key moments. When food benefits expired, DREAM stepped in. When Josie began her job search, we provided space, connections, and encouragement at a career fair hosted on our campus.

What makes Josie remarkable is that she shows up too.

Feeling a growing sense of purpose, she began volunteering at DREAM's Community Support Hub. "I enjoy it," she said, "but I also know how important it is for my daughter to see me volunteering." Today, it’s a given to see Riley volunteering alongside her mom at DREAM’s Food Pantry.


Each experience deepened Josie’s connections with the wider DREAM family. As Josie became a steady presence at the Hub, families started coming to her for information and guidance. Her leadership became visible, meaningful, and deeply valued. This year, she's running for secretary of the DREAM Family Action Council. In the past, Josie and Riley might have slipped quietly under the radar. Today, they’re voices, helpers, and connectors in our community.

Their story is what happens when support provides comfort, comfort turns into confidence, and confidence inspires leadership.

INVESTING FOR A LIFETIME

The truest measure of impact is what endures: who returns, who gives back, and who becomes a model for those coming next. DREAM’s Legends program reflects that belief, walking alongside students for six years after high school graduation, building connections that last decades. Legends demonstrates what happens when time, mentorship, and unwavering belief converge — futures change, communities strengthen and dreams grow.

Leslie Paredes graduated in 2021 as part of the first graduating class of DREAM Charter High School. Three months after finishing college in May 2024, she returned as a Teaching Fellow, becoming the first-ever DREAM Charter High School alumnus to teach at the school. The shy ninth grader who barely spoke in class now stands at the front of it, proud and deeply committed to elevating student voices.

When Leslie first arrived at DREAM in 2017, she kept to herself. Didn't talk. Didn't participate. But a performing arts teacher pushed her to step up, and that push changed everything. Soon she was editor-in-chief of the yearbook, part of student government, National Honor Society, and the Ambassadors program. When she struggled in her tenth-grade global history class, Leslie’s teacher told her something that stuck: “You don’t want to do the work because you find it challenging. But it's okay to find things challenging.” She ended up loving history so much she double-majored in pre-law and African History at Franklin & Marshall College, where she won the highest award to go study abroad in Africa.


Coming back to teach wasn't just about a job. It was about giving students what DREAM gave her: belonging, representation, and proof that where you come from doesn't determine your future. “DREAM was my safe space,” she says. “Now I'm here to give that same support to students, that same empathy and understanding that I received.”


This is what DREAM's Legends program has always believed in: by working alongside students for six years after high school with college persistence support, career guidance, and continued connection, students are empowered to find their careers and passions, while finding opportunities to give back to their communities.

Staff Spotlight

Jared Francis
Managing Director of High School

Jared’s story at DREAM begins long before he ever joined the team. He grew up in East Harlem, and when he first walked into DREAM as a staff member, it wasn’t just a new job — it was a return to his roots. Jared remembers recruiting DREAM Charter High School’s founding class in 2017 and attending community board meetings where he’d look around and see familiar faces. At the very first lottery, his mother and grandmother were in the room. It felt, as he describes it, like a homecoming.


His path into education was shaped by the adults who raised him and stayed by his side. Many of the people who attended his wedding were his high school teachers — first educators, then mentors, then colleagues, and now family.

“
Bonds don’t take a moment. It takes decades.

That same pattern is what he sees unfolding here. Students he once coached or taught now work alongside him at DREAM: Taj Fox, whom he knew as a sixth grader, is an Assistant Dean of Culture. So is Christopher Mena, whom he coached after school every day in third grade. Leslie Paredes was a founding high school student and is now in her first year of teaching under Jared. These full-circle moments happen often at DREAM, but each story is rich and unique.


For Jared, this is the heartbeat of his work. The community he grew up in is the community he serves, and the bonds formed here aren’t quick or transactional. "Bonds don’t take a moment," he says. "It takes decades." DREAM, he believes, is one of the rare places where those decades of connection are possible — where trust is built over years, and where students, families, and staff continue coming back to one another.


What matters most to Jared is watching others carry forward something he helped build, treating it as their own, and investing in traditions that will long outlast this moment. His vision for DREAM is a school that will last for the next 100 years and beyond.

Corporate Partner

Bank of America

Nearly two decades of sustained partnership

For nearly two decades, Bank of America has shown that lasting impact requires sustained commitment. Since 2007, they've invested $4 million and contributed more than 1,000 volunteer hours into DREAM, helping fuel our growth as we transformed from a community-based youth development organization into a comprehensive PreK-12 charter network.

Growing together over time: Sharing our commitment to community vitality and belief that education drives economic and social mobility, Bank of America first invested in Harlem RBI through its Neighborhood Builder® program, supporting afterschool and summer programming. Over the years, that partnership has deepened and expanded. Bank of America's sustained commitment helped build what defines DREAM today:

  • Legends (2014): supporting graduates through college and beyond
  • Project Coach (2015): providing students with their first paid work experience
  • Upward Pathways (2021): creating career pathways for those entering the workforce directly

A vision for generational change: “Bank of America recognizes that meaningful transformation takes time — that's measured in years, not quarters,” says co-CEO Rich Berlin. “That long-term perspective has allowed us to make investments that matter most: comprehensive support for students navigating their twenties, professional development for staff, and robust networking opportunities for alumni.”

The partnership thrives thanks to leaders like Board Members Karim Assef and Vilas Kuchinad, Ambassador Omar Essa, and Connie Verducci and Gail Harvey from Bank of America's Community Relations team. Together, they exemplify partnership at its best: showing up consistently, adapting thoughtfully, and believing deeply in the power of time well invested.

Diana Weiss

A decade of leadership and advocacy

Since joining DREAM's Board of Directors in 2015, Diana Weiss has been far more than a governance leader. Her impact is felt across every dimension of DREAM's work. As a member of the Executive and College and Career Committees, she has helped shape organizational strategy while staying closely connected to student outcomes. She has mobilized her extensive network to drive fundraising, served on event committees, and provided invaluable expertise to DREAM's leadership.

But perhaps her most transformative contribution comes from leveraging her role at PwC to create pathways for DREAM Legends. Diana established PwC as a holistic corporate partner providing funding, volunteers, and career opportunities. She has personally mentored Legends, organized office visits for high school students, and in 2019, hosted the Legends Career Conference at PwC's offices, introducing students to one of the most professional environments they had experienced.

Diana's advocacy has directly changed lives. Legends have secured both internships and full-time roles at PwC through her support, and she continues to leverage her broader network to connect students with opportunities in various industries.

Diana understands that networks are currency, and she has spent a decade generously sharing hers. Her hands-on approach proves that board leadership means more than attending meetings: it means using your platform, connections, and influence to create tangible opportunities for the young people DREAM serves.
