The KNE Dream Foundation

The KNE Dream Foundation is a community-first outreach program created as a reminder that just because people may not see or agree with your vision or dream- does not mean that it cannot exist. Our mission and commitment is to provide knowledge, nurture, empower and encourage dreams and create opportunities for youth in the community. We believe in the power of movement and arts and mentorship and the positive impact that it has. We strive to create initiatives that are purposeful and inspirational to inspire students to dream big and build successful futures through resilience, leadership and the importance of knowing that your today creates your tomorrow. We believe that children deserve to be seen, supported and unstoppable. We want to build confidence, community and careers by investing directly back into our community with scholarships, mentorships, drives, education and resources, ensuring that there is no limit to potential access or opportunities for our youth.
