Hopes & Dreams
Families + Justice + Hope = Power
Hopes & Dreams nurtures the collective leadership of our communities. CARE Brookland understands that our families have deep love, rich experiences, and visionary insights. When families lead, students thrive, schools improve, and our community grows stronger. When we give our families a chance to dream big and speak, we give our children a future of freedom and opportunity.
How We Hope
-
Mutual Aid
We connect families and community members to ensure that immediate needs are always met. Strengthening our community bonds and building systems of trust, centered around our schools, allows us to flourish in ways we could never expect.
-
Capacity Building
Our meetings are safe spaces to laugh, heal, and grow together. We foster an environment that shares dreams and aspirations with one another. We give space to lean on one another because we know that an inspired community makes inspired learners.
-
Justice
The space we occupy and the work we do together contributes to justice. We work to address the systemic inequities impacting our schools. At Hopes & Dreams we give our families the tools to do the same.
-
Togetherness
At the core of CARE is community. Hopes & Dreams creates networks of trust, solidarity, and love. These robust relationships are at the cornerstone of collective action. We fight as a family.
