US Dream Academy

With the support and guidance of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and State Senator Rodney Ellis, we established the Houston Dream Center in October 2002 at the Third Ward Multi-Purpose Center. The Center relocated to Foster Elementary School in October 2007 to increase our capacity to serve more students in this low-income neighborhood experiencing high rates of crime. The Center, which is now able to accommodate 60 students between the ages of 8-13, promotes engagement in the arts, such as dance, music, and theater, has active engagement with the local universities, community-based groups and has started an initiative called the Scott Street Youth Initiative (SSYI). SSYI is an initiative where our DreamTeens are leading, collecting data within the community and developing strategies to help reduce violence and promote positive youth development in their area. In 2022, the learning center relocated to Blackshear Elementary School.
