DREAM Lake County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all volunteer organization. Our mission is to provide athletic and academic scholarships for at-risk youth.   Thank you for your support!    Dream Lake County has now closed.  We have achieved our goal to provide $6262 in scholarships to youth in Lake County and provide educational classes for youth!  Thanks again for your support!

WHY: Youth & their families face many challenges in our community--

• The overall poverty rate in Leadville is higher than the state average. Lake County has a high child-poverty rate and a high reduced-lunch rate
• Alcohol use among youth in Leadville is higher than the state average.
• A recent survey asked high school students in Lake County to name their top five health concerns. 87% of youth listed substance abuse as a health concern.
• Domestic violence and DUI rates are more than double the state rate in most years in Lake County.
