The Dream Big Project

 

The Dream Big Project, Inc. was formed in March of 2006 and subsequently began it’s  incorporation in April of 2006 by Ivyous Entertainment, LLC & the music group “J. Torae” who shared a common goal of providing youth with educational art and entrepreneurial financial educational opportunities, with particular emphasis on young disadvantaged youth in urban Chicago. It is a prominent developing idea that has begun its journey in the group’s home town Chicago, IL.  This idea was inspired by the experiences of the group members and how their experience being raised and taught in Chicago.  The original lyrics written by J. Torae of the song “Dream Big” speaks to youth about the level of information that is accessible to them in their youth.  It will serve as a true testimony for the things that the group “J. Torae” felt that they missed in their Chicago childhood.  Passionately, the two decided that it is time to help contribute to the changing outlook on how youth see themselves and how far the youth feel that they can go.  Purposely, The Dream Big Project wants to serve financially in a capacity to enhance programs that create better images of urban community youth, art education and financial responsibility and awareness at earlier ages.  Providing this surely can assist in changing the world in small ways that become bigger later.  The Dream Big Project wants to help young people “Dream BIG!”  

The project’s of the Dream Big Project of Chicago is comprised of a dynamic, diverse and dedicated all-volunteer group of men and women who share a common desire to improve the chances of success for young people. Over the years, our members have touched the lives of thousands of young people. Through the Dream Big Project fundraising program, art education and economic development programs, young people will gain better access to bigger resources and a competitive edge.

More specific our members will serve as a determined force for overcoming cultural, artistic and financial obstacles that have limited the achievements of disadvantaged youth, with a particular emphasis on young African-American youth.
