DreamWakers is now part of Backrs! Learn more about this exciting transition.

Here at DreamWakers, we have the privilege of working with diverse and dynamic volunteer professionals from around the world. Our #DreamSpeakers are CEOs, scientists, authors, and reporters, all making waves in their industries. Busy as they are, these professionals still take the time to give back by virtually volunteering with DreamWakers through our core Flashchats program.

This academic year, we rolled out a new series on Instagram to provide our scholars with even more in-depth exposure to the day-to-day “real-world” life of DreamWakers’ professional role models. Through a series of 10 Instagram Takeovers, our #DreamSpeakers took students along to a tech conference in Vegas, to launch a new art installation in New York, and to train for the Olympics in Phoenix. Check out the videos below to get a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes hustle and grind of a few of our incredible #DreamSpeakers!
