What We Do

Empowering Youth Through STEAM, Career Discovery, and Family Engagement

At Dominguez Dream, we deliver hands-on learning experiences that help youth from under-resourced communities discover meaningful educational opportunities, especially in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math). Our programs connect learning to real-world careers, help build essential tech and problem-solving skills, and strengthen support networks at home and throughout the community.

 

We partner with schools, afterschool providers, and nonprofits to offer flexible, engaging STEAM programs year-round.
