Our Impact
Since 2014, DreamWakers has connected classrooms across the U.S. with dynamic role models in a wide array of professional sectors, shedding light on the real-world applicability of course lessons, while inspiring the next generation of leaders to envision and prepare for their own future. The opportunity gap is immense, and widening, when it comes to accessing meaningful interactions with career professionals. Research shows two-thirds of U.S. employers report having little to no interaction with classrooms.
We aspire to close the opportunity gap by connecting classrooms to careers through:
Serving students where we are needed most:
students served across 45 states and DC
Sparking students’ curiosity and confidence:
of classrooms continue the conversation after their flashchat ends
students gained confidence in public speaking
Getting the grade from the educators:
educator satisfaction
want to return for their next flashchat
Bridging the divide between employers and future workforce:
representing 600 organizations
Elevating representation and excellence among our DreamSpeaker community:
languages spoken
Simplifying service to make giving back easy:
