Dream Big

Dream Big is a non-profit organization based in Needham, Massachusetts. Founded in 2010, the organization is dedicated to empowering girls and young women from low-income backgrounds to participate in sports and physical activities. With a team of 30 employees, Dream Big strives to break down the financial barriers that often prevent these individuals from accessing opportunities for athletic and personal growth. Dream Big works with a variety of organizations, schools, and community youth centers to identify girls in need and provide them with essential resources. This includes covering the costs of sports equipment, footwear, uniforms, training expenses, and program fees. By removing these financial hurdles, Dream Big aims to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for girls to engage in sports and physical activities that contribute to their overall well-being. The organization's commitment to empowering young women extends beyond financial support. Dream Big hosts an annual Leadership Conference, bringing together middle and high school girls with accomplished athletes, educators, and professionals. This event exposes participants to diverse role models and highlights the wide range of possibilities available to them in sports, academics, and careers.
