Organization Details

Chelsea-Elliott II ?I Have a Dream? is housing-based.

Two consecutive classes of first graders living in the Chelsea-Elliott II housing projects qualify for participation.

Before the inception of this program, there was a first Chelsea-Elliott II program.

Many graduates of this program are now in college and pursuing their goals. Due to the success of the first program, development of a second one was a natural progression.

The mission of the Chelsea-Elliott II ?I Have a Dream? program is to imbue children with the knowledge, intellectual curiosity, and fortitude to reach their potential.

They may cultivate talents in areas ranging from academia and the arts to community organization.

These Dreamers will have a chance to achieve goals they could not have imagined.

The Chelsea-Elliott II program fosters academic, social, creative and civic development.

It is a multi-pronged program with a comprehensive professional staff.

In 1981, entrepreneur Eugene Lang made an historic speech, giving birth to the ?I Have a Dream? Foundation
