A Boy and His Dream

A Boy and His Dream A Boy and His Dream is creating opportunities for the underserved youth in the USA and Nigeria. We hope you join us on this journey.

A Boy and His Dream Foundation seeks to provide youth the ability to take charge of their lives, and overcome obstacles and adversities. The determination to succeed, no matter the cost, is a story we believe is one that gives hope. A Boy and His Dream Foundation focuses to give back to communities the opportunities and knowledge to be successful and healthy. We achieve this through feeding the homeless, speaking events, and educating our youth through pro bono workshops on local, national and international levels. Our goal is to inspire struggling youth to realize there is hope for their future, and to inspire change.

This is Chicago, God’s Own City, City of love, peace and opportunity. Yesterday was all about community, positivity, and giving our students a strong start to the school year! 🎒📚❤️

We brought good vibes to the West Side of Chicago with:

💈 Fresh, FREE haircuts
🎒 FREE backpacks filled with school supplies
🍦 An ice cream truck
🎶 Good music, smiles, and positive energy
🤝 Community, family, and connection

It was amazing seeing so many families and young people come out. More than just backpacks, we wanted to remind our students that their community believes in them, supports them, and wants to see them succeed.

Thank you to everyone who came out, volunteered, partnered with us, and helped make yesterday special.

This is what community looks like. ❤️

Let’s keep showing up for our youth and giving them the tools, confidence, and positive energy they need to succeed!
