We are thrilled to share news that will positively impact thousands of students in under-resourced communities across the country: DreamWakers is now part of Backrs! For the last 10 years, DreamWakers has fostered inspiring career connections, closing the opportunity gap for students in under-resourced communities across the U.S. Since we first set out on our mission to help students see what they can be, DreamWakers has connected classrooms across 47 states and DC with inspiring role models. Together, we have exposed more than 50,000 students to new careers through more than 100,000 minutes of meaningful, future-focused conversations, with 83% of students learning about a new career in each flashchat. Since 2014, DreamWakers’ ultimate aim has been to inspire students to dream big for their futures no matter their zip code, harnessing the power and eagerness of career role models to share what they have learned and experienced with the next generation. To further scale our impact and deliver on this mission, our community and flashchat programming will be joining the innovative, impactful work at Backrs.
