At 1,000 Dreams Fund, our foremost mission is to positively impact the lives of young women and empower them to go for their dreams.

Every year, our 1DF Student Advisory Board (SAB) program plays an integral role in that mission while offering an unparalleled career development opportunity. It provides a platform for young women with similar passions and strength of purpose to make new connections, meet mentors, and find scholarship opportunities — plus, they help others do the same!
