Dream Root's mission is to release the potential of leaders in underserved communities, breaking the cycles of poverty, and promoting the well-being of every member of society.

I have always had a passion for leadership development and adult education. I have been fortunate to experience first hand many of the programs and courses Dream Root has offered. I have traveled to Brazil and seen first hand the impact this organization has on the social projects there. Consider donating and/or supporting this great non profit

Dreamroot Leadership is doing amazing things! They are reaching communities both locally and globally. I have had the unique opportunity to see firsthand the work they are doing in Brazil. They have built relationships with locals and are equipping leaders and this next generation. Dreamroot is working to empower locals by supporting them, so they are able to reach the needs of their local community and beyond!

I have seen firsthand the positive impact that DreamRoot has on people's lives in Brazil during the cross-cultural exchange. A group of jiu jitsu students from Virginia come to Brazil each year to hang out with local communities, be immersed in Brazilian culture, and get to know one another and bond as human beings through the art of jiu jitsu.

DreamRoot's approach is very clearly rooted in a deep respect and understanding of the communities it serves. They identify the local leaders already doing the work in their communities and empower them to continue doing so and support them in the ways they need. It was truly amazing to train jiu jitsu with the local communities and feel the energy of such an incredible project.

I am writing this review for DreamRoot which is a non-profit organisation that is led by incredible people with a vision to make an impact in impoverished communities, families and children around the world.
I had an amazing opportunity to witness the impact of DreamRoot in children’s life and for their families. The work of DreamRoot is truly life-changing. The organisation’s commitment and dedication to helping those communities in need is very evident. The world needs more organizations like DreamRoot that has a true impact in people’s lives and their communities around the globe.
THANK YOU DREAMROOT!!!

I recently had the pleasure of being a part of a leadership exchange program through the DreamRoot Leadership Institute in Brazil, and I can honestly say that it was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported by the executive staff, who are incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and passionate about the positive impact their work has on underserved communities throughout the world.

The leadership exchange program is well-structured and thoughtfully designed, with a perfect balance of cultural immersion, hands-on activities, and cross-cultural group discussions. I learned a great deal about the challenges local community leaders are facing in their country and how, through ongoing mentorship, coaching, and encouragement, they are making positive differences in their own communities.

One of the things that really stood out to me about DreamRoot Leadership Institute was the emphasis on peer support and self-awareness. Through various intentional activities, such as group training sessions, markets, and group outings, we were able to interact and discuss topics like respect and shared responsibility which formed a mutual agreement on what is helpful to further achieve in-country goals.

Finally, I have to mention the beautiful location of the DreamRoot Training Center in Paulista, Brazil. The training center is nestled by the Atlantic Ocean just north of the modern capital, Recife, and Olinda, featuring a port, an old town, high-end shopping, and the popular beach area of Boa Viagem. This serene and peaceful setting provided the perfect backdrop for the learning and personal growth that took place during my experience during the exchange program.

Overall, I would highly recommend DreamRoot Leadership Institute to anyone looking to support an organization that fosters grassroots community growth through direct mentorship, coaching, and encouragement in a supportive and inspiring environment. The program is top-notch, the staff is exceptional, and the location is simply breathtaking.
