Dreaming Out Loud's mission is to design and implement innovative human development programs and high-impact social enterprises, within our ethical framework, that empower the potential in under-served communities. In service to communities we engage, we commit to the following:
- To be a force of inspiration, character development and leadership capacity-building for youth.
- To engage youth and low-skill workers in education and workforce investment programs that build transferable 21st century skills.
- To create sustainable employment opportunities that provide entry into the new "green economy" for low-income individuals.
Here's how we are accomplishing this:
- Aya Community Markets – An innovative farmers market and holistic health experience targeting "food deserts" and "low-access" communities to provide fresh and gateways to community health resources that residents need to get healthy and stay healthy.
- Workforce Investment - An accompanying component of our social enterprises that will engage youth and low- to moderate-skill individuals to develop transferable 21st century skills through innovative public-private partnerships.
