Students of color still do not see enough examples of people who look like them in professions they want to be—with lives they want to have. This situation can erode students' belief in the power of their own dreams, putting a ceiling on their potential.
At Todaydream®, we know the reality is far better than the perceived shortage. Diverse professionals do exist, yet often their stories do not rise above the noise of contemporary cultural expectations. Their stories do not reach students' ears.
Our mission is to empower the next generation by providing the largest community of diverse inspiring professionals ever assembled whom we train to share their stories with youth. We call these professionals DreAmbassadors®.
from across the country
(e.g., doctors, lawyers, engineers, entrepreneurs, business people, authors, activists, artists)
to share their stories with youth
Balancing high-impact online interactive sessions with in-person sessions allows our DreAmbassadors—our community of diverse inspiring professionals trained to share their stories—to reach youth from anywhere in the world (and at low cost).
In the standard format, a school, nonprofit organization, parent, or other entity schedules 30 minutes on a DreAmbassador's calendar for a structured, high-impact interactive session to inspire and empower youth.
We are not merely inspiring students to believe in their dreams; we are also exposing them to new possibilities they may not have even known to dream about.
Todaydream has impacted students in school districts around the nation. Our methods are deeply rooted in established research and evidence on role models, mentorship, and storytelling. We measure the impact of our programs quantitatively and qualitatively, partly by using validated survey measures endorsed by Stanford University’s Measuring Mobility Toolkit.

Our high-impact interactive online sessions between students and DreAmbassadors are hosted on our platform. Doing so allows greater reach and impact on students, as schools and other organizations will not need to provide their own videoconferencing technology.
ProVision® is the private community of DreAmbassadors. This private community represents a collection of PROfessionals enVISIONing a brighter future, or simply ProVision. The word “provision” also means to supply with needed resources. So, provision is the mission of ProVision®—its mission is to support the same professionals who work to support our students.
