Our Mission: Empowering Homeless and At-Risk Teens
Welcome to the journey of hope and transformation with Journey to Dream Foundation! We invite you to join us in something truly impactful—a movement dedicated to embracing, equipping, and empowering homeless, hurting, and at-risk teens to attain recovery, conquer adversity, and lead purposeful lives.
We are a group of University of North Texas students embarking on a fundraising initiative and we are rallying behind Journey to Dream Foundation. Join us in supporting this mission and together, let's create positive change in our community.

Did you know?
Texas reports over 100,000 students experiencing homelessness at some point during the academic year. This number includes youth living in shelters, transitional housing, motels, hotels, doubled-up situations, or unsheltered locations such as streets or parks. The overall rate of homelessness in Texas has continued to trend upward in recent years.
The Journey to Dream Foundation supports 15,000 Youth annually. 9 out of 10 youth leave Kyle’s Place campus with stable housing, employment and either in school or with a high school degree

The Journey to Dream Foundation Offers:
Compassionate and expert mentorship from caring adults
Personalized support and assistance with case management
Connections to essential resources such as food and clothing
Coaching in essential life skills to foster independence
Access to mental health services and evaluations
One-on-one counseling tailored to individual needs
Recommendations and referrals for medical and dental care

Together, We Can Make a Difference
With just $25, we can provide hygiene supplies for one resident, offering them a sense of dignity and comfort in their daily lives. Additionally, a donation of $50 can cover the cost of trauma counseling for one resident, helping them heal from past experiences and build resilience for the future. Your contribution will not only provide essential resources but also serve as a beacon of hope and possibility for those who need it most. By investing in these programs, we can empower young individuals to break the cycle of homelessness, build resilience, and create brighter futures for themselves and their communities.

Testimonial of Transformation From a Journey to Dream Graduate
“I was 18 when I arrived at Kyle’s Place. I had nothing – no ID, no plans for the future, just the clothes on my back. I had one goal: to get my younger sibling out of foster care to live with me, but that seemed impossible.
At Kyle’s Place, I learned skills for dealing with past traumatic experiences, like when I was homeless and sleeping under a bridge, how to positively handle conflict, and ways to share my feelings.
I celebrated my 19th birthday surrounded by loving and supportive people. Thanks to the life skills I learned at Kyle’s Place, I re-enrolled in school and got a job. My experiences taught me the importance of giving back to my community. Today, I volunteer at the Salvation Army and share my story. It’s incredible to actually have other teens look up to me. Through it all, I’ve made it!”

Together, we can empower dreams and create a brighter future for our youth. Thank you for your generosity and support.
