关于我们
Since 1985, Urban Dreams has been providing Des Moines' inner city with a wide range of human service programs in a comfortable and non-threatening environment. Just as the problems that plague the inner city continue to evolve, Urban Dreams continues to change to meet them. Urban Dreams offers programs that are in tune to the unique issues affecting Polk County's economically depressed areas. Programs including information and referral and ex-offender support have been just two of the services that Urban Dreams offers at no cost. Located in the heart of Des Moines' inner city, Urban Dreams is accessible to those who need it most. This area leads Polk County in high school drop out rates, ex-offender residency, gang participation, abandoned property, overall crime rates, and other problems too numerous to mention. Urban Dreams has served as an urban social services training ground for counselors and social workers, some of whom have gone on to start their own organizations. Urban Dreams works closely with area churches, Polk County government, area colleges and universities, and numerous other organizations and businesses mutually committed to the betterment of the community. Along with the funding and support of contributing individuals and corporations, these organizations see their participation as an investment in the future of Des Moines and the state of Iowa. www.UrbanDreams.org Facebook.com/urbandreamsorg

Her story—shaped by the Civil Rights Movement and the ongoing fight for equality—is one of resilience, activism, and hope. We were joined by an incredible crowd, shared great food, and most importantly, heard inspiring words from the author herself.
