About Our LeadersProjectsDonationsContactHomeFundraisingProgram Policy and GuidelinesMISSION
Our mission is to ignite the desire of at risk youth communities in Austin to become lifelong leaders by actively engaging them in safe and structured sport activities through tennis, soccer and other athletic programs. Ignite a Dream will achieve its mission by providing all underprivileged children with athletic opportunities that will teach them valuable life skills as well as provide them with tools, resources and the passion necessary to excel.
GOALS
