key initiatives
Jumpstart is a targeted support initiative that provides direct grocery assistance and essential resources to individuals and families experiencing critical life transitions, with a primary focus on youth aging out of foster care and families transitioning out of shelters into stable housing.
These populations often face immediate food insecurity during periods of transition, which can significantly impact their ability to maintain stability, pursue employment, and build independence.
Jumpstart addresses this gap by providing:
- Direct grocery support (gift cards) to ensure access to nutritious food
- Essential resource support to stabilize households during transition
- Guidance on budgeting and basic life skills (where applicable).
Participants are identified through partnerships with trusted community entities such as:
- Department of Social Services (DSS)
- Foster care and independent living programs
- Shelters and transitional housing providers
This partner-based model ensures that support reaches individuals with verified need in a dignified, efficient, and targeted manner.
Change 85 is Beyond a Dream's signature 85-minute interactive in-class experience designed to equip students with the practical tools they need to make intentional decisions and prepare for success beyond the classroom.
Rather than delivering another lecture, Change 85 engages students through real-world discussions, interactive activities, and personal reflection that encourage them to think critically about the choices they make every day.
Students explore three core areas:
Intentional Decision-Making
Develop the confidence to make thoughtful choices, resist negative influences, and understand how today's decisions shape tomorrow's opportunities.
Digital Responsibility
Learn how online behavior impacts personal reputation, relationships, college admissions, and future careers while building habits for responsible digital citizenship.
Goal Setting & Future Planning
Create meaningful personal and academic goals while developing a practical action plan for achieving them.
What Students Leave With
- A personal goal plan
- Greater awareness of their digital footprint
- Practical decision-making strategies
- Increased confidence and accountability
- Resources to continue their growth beyond the classroom
Whether students are preparing for high school, college, the workforce, or simply navigating everyday life, Change 85 empowers them to make choices that align with the future they want to build.

Post with Purpose is a youth-focused digital literacy and responsibility campaign rooted in the core principles of Beyond a Dream Inc.’s 3P Project (Passion. Planning. Pursuit.).
Originally developed as a foundational lesson within the 3P curriculum, Post with Purpose was intentionally carved out into a standalone campaign to provide deeper focus, greater visibility, and added emphasis on responsible digital expression.
The initiative equips young people with the tools to understand the impact of their online presence, practice self-awareness, and engage in positive, purpose-driven digital behavior. Through guided discussions and interactive learning, participants learn how to use social media responsibly—transforming digital platforms from sources of distraction or harm into tools for expression, influence, and positive change.
