Young American Dreamers

Young American Dreamers Tomorrow's leaders taking action today...

Social Justice - Charity - Community Service So in May of 2010 they officially founded The Young American Dreamers.

In December 2005, The Border Protection, Anti-terrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act, also known as HR4437, was voted on and passed. This created a whole new level of hostility & animosity towards immigrants in this country. Maria Isabel, our founder, organized friends to help a local effort to plan a march & rally in protest of this discriminatory law. She & her friends networked with loc

al youth and helped gather supplies & made signs. Over 1,200 people showed up to the Building Bridges with Unity march that took place on April 22nd 2006 in Winter Haven, FL. As time progressed, this small group of young friends saw that there were many other important issues that needed to be addressed in their community & turned this need into an opportunity to take action into their own hands. They decided that by taking action & volunteering, they could show others that instead of complaining & pointing fingers, it would be more productive to lend a helping hand. YAD membership varies from elementary school aged children to college aged young adults. They do volunteer community service throughout the local area and help other groups & non-profit organizations. At times some political action is taken seeing how certain legislative decisions affect our youth, neighbors, & families. YAD members have traveled from Miami, FL to Washington, D.C. to take part in rallies, marches, & demonstrations to support the group's ideals & show members firsthand how democracy works. Throughout the year, YAD members do all types of fundraisers including car washes, bussing tables at local CiCi's Pizza restaurants, holding yard sales, & doing raffles. At the end of each school year, YAD awards out several scholarships to winners of their essay competition. Education is important to our youth & by doing this, YAD members feel proud that they have helped another student pursue their dreams. So based out of Auburndale in Polk County, FL, The Young American Dreamers are tomorrow's leaders taking action today!!!

It was the pride and joy of Iranian musician Hamidreza Afarideh, who opened the school two years ago with his wife, Sheida Ebadatdoust. They had poured their hearts and money into creating a space that felt like a haven for their 250 students, who ranged in age from toddlers to the elderly.

Now, he says, it has all been "wiped out."
