Support The Dream

DREAMERS + BELIEVERS: It was all a DREAM. What started out in 2012, as taking 23 high school students on a five-day camping trip turned into a four-year (year-round) holistic high school mentoring program serving hundreds.

THE COMMON GROUND EXPERIENCE: Our village-approach provides the support that ALL children need to thrive; including developing their character, nourishing their wellness, fostering their creativity, and introducing them to unlimited possibilities to ensure prosperity and generational wealth.

THE ACHIEVERS NETWORK: It takes a village to empower a dreamer and we invite you to join us as we inspire our youth to enroll in college, study abroad and enter the workforce as effective leaders, entrepreneurs and world changers.

Any and every contribution will
make a difference in the lives
of the students we serve.

The Common Ground Foundation is committed to making an impact in the lives of the students that we serve in our programs. Your donations are greatly appreciated and will go toward expanding our reach to youth in Chicago and beyond. We welcome one-time gifts or recurring donations.
