I HAVE A DREAM-OVERTOWN INC

I Have a Dream – Overtown, Inc (IHAD) serves 50 at-risk high school (11th and 12th grades) students. These children have been chosen ten years ago to be “Dreamers” by the I Have a Dream – Overtown program, which has pledged to provide financial assistance for their higher education if the “Dreamer” graduates from high school. The organization is committed to providing whatever services are needed as they complete high school (in the next two years) for the “Dreamers” and their families to help them reach their full potential. . By introducing quality prevention and promotion services, coping and management skills, college readiness techniques, and technological enhancements to these children now with constant re-enforcements and follow through, the I Have a Dream – Overtown program will be able to enhance the needed tutorial, enrichments and life skill programming it has put in place for the “Dreamers”. The ultimate goal is for every child to graduate from high school and pursue higher education. This is a longitudinal program essentially serving the same cadre of students since first grade (now in high school). The emphasis is part of an overall, long-term intervention and college scholarship program for the Dreamers.

OneReef Worldwide Stewardship

OneReef's Vision is to create vibrant reefs and thriving communities. OneReef's Mission is to partner with island communities to combine traditional stewardship and modern resources to protect at least 25% of coral reefs across Micronesia. Less than 5% of the billions of dollars spent annually on the environment is made available directly to locals who manage ecosystems. We work to fill this unmet need - we partner directly with island communities to protect reefs and recover fisheries. Our mission is based on the insight that island communities are more effective environmental stewards when their traditional knowledge and practices are combined with the right scientific, financial, and technical partnerships and resources. It ensures that practical and cost-effective solutions emerge. OneReef's Community Partnership Model is a proven way to accomplish long-term conservation success: - Through equitable agreements, traditional knowledge is combined with the right partnerships and resources, and economic benefits are directly linked to conservation - Agreements include the community's 20-year vision, shared commitments and expected outcomes, a spatial management plan, impact monitoring plan, and more. - This results in innovative, practical and cost-effective solutions to enforce managed fishing zones, measure impact, and build social cohesion around conservation that endures. Why the OneReef Community Partnership model has proven to be effective: 1. The right people in the right places Our island community partners have a strong "eco-identity" and take responsibility for their environment. They want their reefs to thrive in the face of over-fishing and climate change. 2. The right tools and resources Our island community partners need financial, scientific, and technical resources to protect their reefs. OneReef mentors community members: (1) Training, tools, infrastructure to increase agency (2) Support for management plans (3) Science-based impact measures (4) Long-term, leveraged financing 3. The right partnerships We align private and public funds, technology, and science. Working hand-in-hand, OneReef, island communities, elected leaders, funders, and technical and scientific partners combine modern resources with traditional stewardship. Joint problem-solving and meaningful engagement create enduring value.
