    • About Us

    DreamCatchers

    • We help close the opportunity gap for socioeconomically disadvantaged students in an otherwise high-performing school district during the most crucial years of a child’s education.
    • We provide middle school students and their families in the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) with individualized mentoring, after-school tutoring, academic and social-emotional support for their entire middle school careers, readying them for high school. 
    • High school and college students tutor the middle school students.
    • Since 2008, DreamCatchers has provided over 50,000 hours of free, after-school academic support and mentorship for students who commit to the program from 6th through 8th grade. 

    The DreamCatchers three-year program places a strong emphasis on high school readiness and community building.
