Who We Are

Building brighter futures for our youth since 2004.

City of Dreams is a youth development & mentorship organization that implements enrichment programs to help youth discover their potential. Our programs give meaningful childhood experiences to youth living in poverty to alleviate generational trauma and heal the next generation of Bayview residents.

**The Problem**

Bayview-Hunter’s Point was built in response to a need for workers at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, which was shut down in 1989 by the city after decades of providing 3,000 residents with employment. The shutdown caused a tremendous impact on the stability of the neighborhood, at a time when drugs and violence began to infiltrate the city. Poverty became a common status.
