We channel our efforts into empowering a new generation of diverse, globally spread Gen Z individuals 🌍🧑‍🤝‍🧑, equipping them with the skills, funding, mentorship, and opportunities necessary to leverage web3 for positive change.\n\n### **Our Composition:**\n\nOur ecosystem is comprised of enthusiastic Builders 👷‍♀️ (youth aged 15-20) and seasoned Champions 🏆 (veteran industry leaders), collaboratively driving the DAO's mission forward.\n\n---\n\n### **🎯 Strategic Focus**\n\n1. **Empowering Learning Communities:** 📚\n\nWe've established an empowering, knowledge-sharing series called “Learning Together” held twice a week with industry pioneers. We encourage builders to attend (and even host) IRL events, and provides opportunities to intern at impact-oriented web3 organizations.\n\n1. **Web3 x Social Impact Internship Program:** 💼\n\nOur Dream DAO Explorers Program is a two-month immersive internship for budding innovators, charting their path in the web3 x social impact space.\n\n1. **IRL Regen Web3 Gatherings:** 🌱\n\nWe facilitate inspirational gatherings, encouraging the integration of regenerative principles in web3.\n\n---\n\n## **How will we achieve a future of web3-powered social impact?**\n\nWe believe that one of the best investments in humanity is Gen Z (the builders of the future) and, within Gen Z, we believe the highest leverage opportunity to realize their potential is to teach them how to leverage the most powerful emerging technology: web3.\n\nWe consider web3’s ability to impact the world positively depends on the web3 builder community collectively looking a lot more like how the world looks and is more driven by social impact purpose.\n\nDream DAO is a key driver in helping make this a reality.\n\nMembers of the Dream DAO will go on to build world-changing DAOs, create web3 x social impact projects that make unprecedented progress on entrenched social issues, and become moral and tech-savvy leaders of their respective industries. We owe it to our progeny to leave the world better than we found it. A web3 native institution that produces web3-powered civic superheroes is a public good if we've ever seen one.\n\n---\n\n## **Our Impact so far?**\n\nOur project is important because The Dream DAO is the first organization to build a pipeline of Gen Z talent and to equip them to work effectively at the intersection of web3 and social impact. We aspire to attract the best young talent and to channel significant crypto capital to develop thousands of Gen Z civic innovators by 2030.\n\n### **🌟 Since Dream DAO was launched in December 2021, we have had impact achievements:**\n\n- 🎓 Conducted 85 'Learning Together' sessions. bringing leaders from different spaces across web3 to give a talk about a topic of their choice that fits Dream DAO's mission of leveraging the web3 x social impact space.\n- 🎟️ Sponsored 20+ Builders to attend premier web3 events like **NFT NYC, Web3Conf Goa, ETHMexico, and Devcon VI**, with our community winning 3 awards in the ETHMexico hackathon.\n- 🤝 Fostered partnerships for internships. Partnered with Organizations like Celo’s Climate Collective, AERA Force, Protein, and dOrg to **host over 15 Dream DAO builders to intern** in their organizations, giving them their first working experience and an additional stipend to leverage their studies and lives.\n- 🧑‍🏫 Launched a **2-month mentorship program**, matching a dozen Builders with Champions for direct mentorship and guidance.\n- 🏋️ Launched and hosted the first **DreamDAO Bootcamp**; an intensive month of Web3 learning for 43 young leaders who applied to join the DAO. We taught our new builders the foundations of blockchain technology, web3, and their social impact potential, while also onboarding them as contributors to the DAO.\n\n---\n\n## **The Future?**\n\nBy 2030, Dream DAO will have directly supported hundreds of Gen Z builders to impact their local communities and the world, trained them to start social impact DAOs and organizations that focus on public goods, and inspired over a thousand more Gen Zers outside of the DAO to explore and work in the web3 x social impact space.\n\n**Dream DAO Season Five: Empowering the Next Wave of Web3 Changemakers**\n\nThis season, new structures, opportunities, and evolvement are coming to Dream DAO. Besides the **areas of focus,** we have been following in the past couple of years since the DAO was launched, we are now working towards a new future.\n\nSince the November 2021 kickoff, we have realized that it is not just important to educate GenZ on web3 and help them to be onboarded in the space. We must also support and engage in creating their projects, initiatives, and support, mainly, on-the-ground work.\n\nFor this next semester, in which Dream DAO Season Five will be taking part, we're launching a robust learning pathway to equip Gen Z with the tools and support they need to drive real-world impact with web3:\n\n- **Web3 Bootcamp 2nd Cohort:** Open to all, providing a foundational understanding of blockchain and its potential.\n- **Gen Z Accelerator:** A 2-3 month \"solvathon\" where Gen Z teams create web3 public goods, with mentorship and funding support from the Dream DAO community.\n- **Study Groups:** Focused sessions for those deepening their web3 knowledge.\n- **Community Events:** Engaging opportunities for our wider community to connect with our mission.\n- **Rangers Program:** On-the-ground bounties platform connecting builders with local organizations for hands-on social impact projects.\n\nWe aim to onboard 30-35 new Gen Z builders, nurturing a diverse and passionate community dedicated to positive change.\n\n**Your Support Matters:**\n\nGitcoin funding is crucial for sustaining Dream DAO's operations and our mission to onboard thousands of Gen Z leaders into the web3 social impact space. Together, we can build a brighter, more equitable future.\n\nFor more details or to join our mission:\n\n- 🏡 Visit our **[Meet Dream DAO](https://www.notion.so/Meet-Dream-DAO-962646e33798473889b97abbf39cd57a?pvs=21)**\n- 💬 Join our community on **[Discord](https://discord.com/invite/jdFwA6RjQK)**.\n\n**[Read more](https://www.canva.com/design/DAFdGKwDD2Q/uwd9CEd8rhV82iMWZligGg/view?utm_content=DAFdGKwDD2Q&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=homepage_design_menu)**\n\nTogether, let's build a brighter, web3-empowered future! ✨", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "DreamDAO_"}
