About I Have a Dream Foundation Los Angeles

“I Have A Dream” Foundation was founded in 1981 by New York businessman Eugene Lang, who was speaking to students at his middle school alma mater in Harlem when he was told that 75% of the students would drop out before graduating from high school. This figure alarmed him so much that he offered to pay the college tuition of every student who graduated – this started the “I Have a Dream” Foundation.

The Los Angeles affiliate, “I Have A Dream” Foundation – Los Angeles (IHADLA), became the second chapter founded after New York. IHADLA has proudly provided 28 years of direct service to more than 1,000 at-risk children and has also provided services for their parents, siblings, and communities in Los Angeles County.

IHADLA works to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty by sponsoring entire third grades in an elementary school in underserved communities, working with students for ten plus consecutive years through high school graduation and into college. All of our sponsored students, who we call “Dreamers,” are provided a free, comprehensive, year-round, in-school and after-school program that prepares them for success in higher education. Upon completion of high school, each student is offered an $8,000 scholarship to be used towards college or other post-secondary education.

IHADLA currently has four active programs, comprised of our newest class of 65 third graders at Sunrise Elementary School in Boyle Heights (Program 19); 70 sixth graders in Watts (Program 18), majority of them attend 99th Street Elementary School; and 120 ninth and tenth graders in Inglewood (Programs 16 & 17). In addition to these four active programs, IHADLA also offers continued support, in the form of scholarships, to 100 recent high school graduates from East Los Angeles. The overall goal of IHADLA is to provide whole community services for existing cohorts while supporting a new group approximately every other year.
