Kristi Yamaguchi’s ALWAYS DREAM
As a mother and a children’s author, I felt compelled to direct the focus of Always Dream and to make early childhood literacy in under-served communities our core mission. The statistics are staggering and served as my motivation to become actively engaged in the cause of literacy.
Always Dream is now focused on building awareness around the importance of in-home reading and on empowering low-income families with the tools necessary to level the playing field. We do this by providing access to high-quality books in the home via 21st century technology, all while engaging parents to become active participants in their child’s everyday learning.
When kids build a love of reading, they move from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.” This milestone is undeniably transformative, opening doors to new possibilities and dreams.
25th Anniversary
Celebrating 25 Years
Our new logo highlights the North Star as a symbol of hope and inspiration through its simplistic design. The white space in between the North Star creates an arrow pointing upwards to represent growth, moving forward, and achieving new heights through Always Dream.
Like the North Star, Kristi Yamaguchi’s Always Dream serves as guiding light to many students and families.
