Send a Youth from Chicago to the Dream Experience!

At 18, Chicago native Daniel Animashaun has already served as a Youth Leader, Volunteer, Environmental Justice Activist, and Pharmacy Technician. Daniel is dedicated to honing his potential and making the most of every opportunity. He believes the Dream Experience is an incredible way to make memories, broaden relationships, and - above all else - gain knowledge about different lifestyles and career paths that he may have never been exposed to before! He believes leadership demonstrates resilience and courage to take the initiative, even when your environment may not favor it. Daniel has taken this commitment forward by advocating for a Forest Preserve Referendum amidst an ambiance that lacked environmental justice resources or recycling options. He is a member of the Project Visible Man - where he shares perspectives on varied topics concerning young Black men. Helping Daniel embark on the Dream Experience will open up a whole new world for him and enable him to become an even more powerful force in his community.
