The Dreamkeepers Coalition, Inc.

The Dreamkeepers Coalition empowers historically, underserved communities and individuals to achieve their dreams and reach their fullest potential. Our intent is to restore, repair, and reconcile racially divided communities, particularly rural areas. We do this work by building collaborations, cooperation, and community among people and groups. Our vision is to re-imagine the American dream where everyone has equal access to opportunities to reach their dreams. We partner with national and state organizations to ensure that rural areas are empowered too. We are committed to lifting the quality of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all by embracing a mindset of unity and compassion for our neighbors.
