Every teen carries a dream. We help them build the confidence, skills, and plan to pursue it.
Who We Are
Dream Pusher Academy is a Forney, Texas–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that turns encouragement into action. We provide high school students with soft-skills training, workforce readiness, leadership development, and postsecondary scholarship strategies, helping them grow today while preparing for tomorrow.
Through transformational learning, mentoring, hands-on workshops, and meaningful experiences, we create space for teens to discover their strengths, use their voices, and recognize their possibilities. Whether a student dreams of college, a skilled trade, entrepreneurship, or entering the workforce, we help them take purposeful steps forward.
Our work is grounded in five commitments: INSPIRE. EDUCATE. INNOVATE. EMPOWER. ENRICH.
Who We Serve
We serve high school students in grades 9–12 and the parents and guardians supporting them, with a focus on Forney, Kaufman County, and surrounding North Texas communities. Our online programming extends access beyond our local community.
We believe opportunity should not depend on a family’s ability to pay. Donations, sponsorships, and community partnerships help us provide programs, resources, and qualifying tuition-free learning opportunities that remove financial barriers to participation.
Giving Activity
Mission
To equip high school students with the confidence, practical skills, leadership abilities, and scholarship strategies to thrive in school, prepare for the workforce, and pursue their dreams, while engaging families as partners in their success.
Needs
Dream Pusher Academy needs financial support, technology, and community partners to provide high school students with meaningful opportunities to learn, lead, and grow. Your generosity helps us address these priorities:
> Sponsored student participation: Help remove financial barriers to workshops, mentoring, and online scholarship-readiness courses.
> Laptops and technology: Support hands-on learning, AI technology workshops, scholarship research, and digital skills development.
> Learning materials and resources: Provide workbooks, supplies, and tools students can use during programs and beyond.
> Success coaching and mentoring: Support caring guidance that helps teens build confidence, set goals, strengthen leadership skills, and take action.
> Parent and guardian engagement: Help families access coaching, information, and resources to support their teens.
> Program delivery and operations: Sustain the planning, coordination, technology, and outreach that make consistent, quality programming possible.
We welcome financial contributions, donated laptops and equipment, professional expertise, and corporate partnerships.
Your support helps turn a teen’s potential into practical skills, purposeful action, and new possibilities.
Equity Statement
Dream Pusher Academy believes every teen deserves access to opportunities that help them learn, lead, and pursue their dreams. We recognize that financial circumstances, access to technology, and differences in support can create barriers to participation and achievement.
We work to reduce those barriers through sponsored learning opportunities, accessible resources, mentoring, and family engagement. We welcome students across backgrounds, identities, abilities, and life experiences, and strive to create an environment where each young person feels respected, supported, and heard.
Equity means recognizing that students begin from different places and may need different kinds of support. Our commitment is to listen to students and families, respond to their needs, and help every teen take a confident next step.
