@1ShatteredSoul 2/ We believe everyone has the potential to work, and an employer should put in the effort to understand their employee’s unique skill sets and create projects where they can excel.

@1ShatteredSoul 1/ Hi! Folks on our team who are living with a disability are our main teachers. They help us think through ways we can make our app more accessible. If you have any specific ideas on how to make virtual learning accesible for everyone, we would love to hear them!

@hardlynormal We were running a web-based app last year and our biggest feedback from members was that they wished it was an actual app, so now we’re launching on both Google play and the Apple store. If you know ways we could be more accessible pls let us know!

We get it, the digital divide is real — especially due to COVID. We also have youth on our leadership team who’ve experienced homelessness and teach us about specific barriers related to homelessness as we continue to grow.

HOW IT WORKS:

[DreamKit @DreamKitApp]

DreamKit members receive $5 gift cards for completing online activities, and build profiles that reflect their progress to be shared with local employers.

[DreamKit @DreamKitApp]

DreamKit connects youth (18-24) with virtual resources, rewards their growth, and shares their progress with the community.
