Learn More About DREAM
DREAM's also on Threads (dreamdisability) and GroupMe
DREAM (Disability Rights, Education Activism, and Mentoring) is a national organization for and by college students with disabilities.  It's part of the federally funded National Center for College Students with Disabilities, based at the University of Minnesota's Institute for Community Integration.
​
DREAM was designed to serve as an online virtual disability cultural center for students who want to connect with other students, with NCCSD staff as advisors.  DREAM is for higher education students of all types, of all ages, with any kind of disability, including culturally Deaf students and nondisabled students who are our allies and peers.  We advocate for and actively work toward an intersectional approach to disability culture, community, and pride.
