History
COMPANY HISTORY
Dream Collectives was conceived in the minds of four different founders over 10 years ago.
Coming to fruition in 2005, Dream Collectives vision is "Reflection to Projection". As individuals each member of Dream Collectives was an advocate for youth in the community. As a collective body the staff strategized to create a dream for youth in the community. The desire is that they could identify their passion early in life. It is every human beings ultimate desire to have their path/purpose laid—out to clearly see in front of them.
