Drömstort Förening

Drömstort (Dream Big Organisation) works with youth from deprived areas of Stockholm, empowering them to follow their dreams through mentorship, sports and culture, tutoring and leadership courses. Our goal is to connect with youth and help them implement a plan on how to meet their individual dreams and goal, based on their individual needs. Our target groups are adolescences between the age of 15-30 years and our secondary target group are teenagers 10-14 years of age. We reach out to this group because we share the same objectives, which are to empower, encourage and provide the opportunity for young people to reach their Dreams. We have a youth facility (Drömgården) which is open in evenings, where youth get to dance in our dance studio, work out individually or in groups in our gym, record music/podcast and play video games with other youth. Here we also provide them with support in preparing job applications, training for driving license test, and they get to use our facilities for their own other activities for free. Drömstort brings forth new youth leaders every year through our “Dream leader” program. We also provide weekly basketball, football, volleyball, dance lessons and tutoring sessions all over Stockholm. We organize holiday sports and cultural events for immigrants, asylum seekers and youth from deprived areas. To further develop the youth we organize trips and leadership courses in collaboration with other organizations. Drömstort Förening is also part of Reach For Change and Ashooka Organisations that helps social entrepreneurs all over the world. We aim to be the best organization in Sweden that brings forth youth leaders and motivate the youth to reach their dreams. One of our goals is to gather youth dreams and help societies to invest and get a better understanding of young people dreams.
