Julie's Dream

The mission of Julie’s Dream is to give children in under-resourced communities in Atlanta the hope and love of Jesus Christ through awe-inspiring wilderness experiences and outdoor adventures. Julie’s Dream seeks to address the barriers that inhibit youth from under-resourced communities from experiencing the transformative power of the outdoors. Julie’s Dream partners with nonprofits in Atlanta who directly serve these communities to ensure long-term youth engagement. Our programs provide tools for success including self-confidence, goal-setting, and leadership skills. As a faith-based organization, Julie’s Dream connects each participant’s experience of the beauty of the outdoors to our Creator and a personal faith in Jesus. Julie’s Dream envisions a new generation of Atlanta youth who possess both a strong faith and the tools to improve the future of their communities. 

Julie’s Dream programs are conducted primarily in the Atlanta area but also in natural settings all over the United States. Hiking, camping, swimming, rafting, mountain biking, canoeing, and rock climbing, are just a few of the adventures that we utilize to reach the children we serve.
