I AM FREE TO DREAM™We believe that every dream holds the power to build a more just and joyful future, not only for the populations we serve, but also for the world around us. For those dreams to come alive — our dreamers need tools, resources, mentorship, and opportunities. They need a community of Dreamkeepers!Founded by the award winning Artist, Actor and Advocate, COMMON, FREE TO DREAM™ is a grassroots organization with global reach, empowering opportunity-youth and systems-impacted people through creative arts, education, mentorship, and digital resources that provide pathways to opportunity.For 25 years, our signature youth programming in Chicago has impacted young people across 50 schools, reaching more than 100,000 students. At the heart of this longstanding work is Dreamers & Believers, our youth mentorship program, which serves more than 300 students each year through year-round mentoring, summer camps, international travel, and college readiness opportunities.Through our Dream Summit experiences, we partnered with professional sports organizations to engage students from 30+ organizations through immersive workshops where they explored their dreams, identified their aspirations, and developed actionable blueprints for a future filled with opportunity. Launched during the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend, the Dream Summits have continued to grow through partnerships with the Golden State Warriors, Golden State Valkyries, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bears, and more.Rebirth of Sound is our groundbreaking music rehabilitation program held within adult and juvenile facilities. Through music and creative expression, the program creates space for Rebirth of Sound students to develop new skills, nurture their talents, build meaningful connections, and believe in new possibilities for their futures. The program is a reminder to people who are incarcerated that their dreams still matter and can serve as pathways to healing, personal growth, and better life outcomes.
