About us
A Boy and His Dream is a volunteer-based 501(c)(3) charitable organization that supports underserved youth. We focus our charitable giving on two pillars: Underserved Youth in Chicago and Underserved Youth in Nigeria. A Boy and His Dream seeks to provide youth with the ability to take charge of their lives and overcome obstacles and adversities. The determination to succeed, no matter the cost, is a story we believe gives hope. A Boy and His Dream Foundation focuses on giving back to the Chicago community, the opportunities and knowledge to be successful and healthy. For the underserved youth in Nigeria, we build playgrounds, provide educational sessions, and deliver meals, school supplies, and toys. In March 2023, we built a playground and delivered 50,000 meals, stuffed animals, and school supplies to the schoolchildren in the village of Ekpoma, Nigeria. For the underserved youth in Chicago, we offer a scholarship program where we provide scholarship money for their college education, networking opportunities, and direct 1:1 mentorship.

I had a successful seminar today teaching the youth entrepreneurial methods at the Lagos Continental Hotel, Nigeria. We live in a microwave society where many expect quick success, but true achievement takes consistent hard work. 🌟 #YouthEntrepreneurship #LagosEvent #NigerianYouth #EntrepreneurialMindset #BusinessGrowth #Dedication #HardWorkPaysOff #LongTermSuccess #EmpowerTheYouth #FutureLeaders #Nigeria #BusinessSeminar #Inspiration #YouthEmpowerment #ConsistentEffort

I had the incredible opportunity to interview Alex Levesque, the inspiring founder of the Automotive Mentoring Group here in Chicago. Here’s what he had to say about mentoring the youth, making it intentional, and encouraging them to succeed. Alex focuses on young people who have been incarcerated or involved in gangs, offering them a second chance with invaluable skill sets to help them succeed. His dedication to repurposing lives and providing hope is truly remarkable. 📺 Subscribe to our channel to keep up with our biweekly episodes here! https://lnkd.in/gZ5UY2qW #YouthMentoring #SecondChances #SkillBuilding #Rehabilitation #HopeForYouth #PositiveChange #CommunitySupport #GangIntervention #SupportPrograms #FutureLeaders #ChicagoHeroes #AutomotiveMentoring #SuccessStories #MentorshipMatters #EmpowerYouth
