IDRA began 40 years ago with a dream for children’s education.
We’re asking you… What is your dream for children?

Here are some dreams shared by others…
(We’ll keep adding to this page as more dreams come in)
“My dream is that our children are nurtured by the ‘village’ and not destroyed or fed to the hungry lions waiting to prey on them.”
“Lograr que termine su educación y gradue del colegio con honores, pero sobre todo que ejerza su carrera o profesión para que sea un individuo preparado y se realize como persona y profesionalmente.”
“I would like children to not be judged or that educators wouldn’t have negative preconceived perceptions of these children.”
“I dream that our children are self-loving and independent but always have a sense of community.”
“I dream that all children will be educated to excellence, regardless of ethnicity, socio-economic level and geographic location by committed, loving administrators and teachers.”
“My dream is for children to have loving, supportive, empowered families; quality education that helps them become successful in community, relationships and life.”
“My dream is that young people and their families are free to pursue their dreams and the system provides the resources to help them get there.”
“Mi sueño es que mi hijo termine una educación profesional y que se luche por los recursos de finanzas, para que obtengan estos estudios.”
“Mi sueño es ver a mis dos hijos graduados del colegio, con una carrera terminada y que así ellos tengan un buen trabajo y una mejor calidad de vida junto con mas jóvenes de mi comunidad.”
“Verlos crecer cómo persona, graduados exitosos y que se preocupen por la comunidad, educación, etc.”
“My dream is that learners are always lifted higher to a place where they can stand, reach, achieve – succeed.”
“My dream for all children is that they will be cared for and thought of as important. My hope for them is that they experience teachers who care about their well-being.”
“Que sean exitosos. Que estén educados sobre lo que está pasando a su alredeldor. Que no solo terminen high school y entren a la universidad y que gradúen de la universidad y sigan apoyando a su comunidad.”
“My dream for all children is to get a good quality education that will prepare them for postsecondary education and success. Without it, there is no future.”
“I dream that all children will be successful adults by being afforded an opportunity for post grad education.”
“My dream for all children is that they live in a world that supports and nurtures them, allows them room for growth and lifelong learning.”
“My dream for children is freedom to choose their own path no matter socio-economic background.”
“Yo quiero una mejor calidad de vida y un futuro en triunfo además de un lugar seguro donde vivir.”
“My dream is for our children to be loved, educated and become productive citizens.”
“My dream for all children is that they will be cared for and thought of as important. My hope for them is that they experience teachers who care about their well-being.”
“It is my desire for all children to have the opportunity to be taught every day by a highly effective teacher in a safe and caring place.”
“My dream is that teachers have high expectations for all students!”
“My dream is for children to know you can succeed no matter your background, context or zip code.”
“I want minority children to know themselves through education (curriculum, teaching) and engaged parents who have pride in their ethnic and cultural identity.”
“El sueño de cada padre es ver a su hijo realizado profesionalmente, y sobre todo ver a mis pequeños terminar una carrera universitaria para tener un mejor futuro de la mano de Dios.”
“My dream is to see my nephew graduate from college and become a role model for other Latino males in our community!”
“My dream is for every child regardless of ability to be taught fairly and with dignity.”
“My dream for all children is a good education. I mean the best education.”
“My dream is that every child will grow up in a community where every adult loves them and supports them to thrive.”
“My dream is that students have the opportunity and where-with-all to pursue and achieve their dreams.”
“My desire that children will be able to attend school in an environment that’s safe and secure.”
That every child will grow up in a community where every adult loves them and supports them to thrive.
I want minority children to know themselves through education (curriculum, teaching) and engaged parents who have pride in their ethnic and cultural identity.
A good education. I mean the BEST education.
For them to have all of the necessary supports to raise into healthy adulthood.
Freedom to choose their own path no matter socio-economic background.
That they live in a world that supports and nurtures them, allows them room for growth and lifelong learning.
That all children have healthy, safe, nurturing, and stimulating environments!
It is very important for minority children to learn about their history and culture to understand who they are, where they come from, and where they need to go to succeed in life.
Congratulations of 40 years of empowering families to maximize their children’s education!
Loving, supportive, empowered families; quality education that helps them become successful in community, relationships and life.
You can succeed no matter your background, context or zip code.
Young people and their families are free to pursue their dreams and the system provides the resources to help them get there.
Always remember the power of PLAY + IMAGINATION!!
