Program Are

Hey! I'm Tange and I'm 18 years old. I’ve been in the Judge Alice Lytle Academy of Dreams Program for over 4 years. And with the support and nourishment I received from the program, I have accomplished a lot.

I’ve graduated high school in June 2004. I now working as a part time medical assistant and attending Sacramento City College part time.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to take a trip to Texas last summer with some of my fellow Academy Of Dreamers. The reason I wanted to go was to be apart of the experience of the caravan and next year I want to go all the way to Cuba and see what the medical school is like there. My plans for the future are to become a midwife or a Registered Nurse.

I believe in myself.

I feel I can do anything.

Academy of Dreams

The Academy of Dreams is a youth development program which helps young women create dreams for the future and develop a plan to make their dreams come true. Activities include expanding their vision of the world by site visits, seminars, and completion of a community service project.

Other activities include weekly meetings; counseling; monthly movie night/slumber parties, dance classes, and educational trips. After completion of the first 3 months, the teens graduate to the Leadership Program.

Upon acceptance into the six month Leadership Program, the teens are assigned to a mentor, assisted into obtaining a community service placement and continue to meet monthly and explore the world outside their neighborhood (which feeds their minds, nourishes their bodies & lifts their spirits).
