Through mentorship, internships, and hands-on training, we're ensuring their entry into this domain is not just smooth but also meaningful.\n\nPromoting Inclusion and Diversity: By spotlighting Gen Z, we're naturally advocating for a diverse and inclusive future in the web3 realm. Our global reach ensures we\u2019re drawing from a rich tapestry of young minds, each bringing unique perspectives to the table.\n\nOur track record speaks volumes of our commitment and impact. In less than two years, we've orchestrated 80 learning sessions, enabled 20+ builders to attend landmark web3 events, and fostered partnerships with reputed web3 institutions for internships. We don\u2019t just aim for short-term goals; our vision stretches to 2030, where we see ourselves having onboarded thousands of Gen Z leaders into the web3 ecosystem, advocating for public good and social impact.\n\nFurthermore, our project has already garnered significant support and validation from prestigious entities in the crypto space, including Coinbase, Celo, NEAR, and the Ethereum Foundation.\n\nIn essence, we at Dream DAO aren't just meeting the eligibility criteria for the grant; we embody the spirit of what the grant seeks to achieve.

Builders and Champions work together every day to make the DAO better. The Dream DAO has biweekly \u2018Learning Together\u2019 sessions, funds builders to attend (and even host) IRL events, and provides opportunities to intern at impact-oriented web3 organizations.\n\n# **How will we achieve a future of web3-powered social impact?**\n\nWe believe that one of the best investments in humanity is Gen Z (the builders of the future) and, within Gen Z, we believe the highest leverage opportunity to realize their potential is to teach them how to leverage the most powerful emerging technology: web3. \n\nWe consider web3\u2019s ability to impact the world positively depends on the web3 builder community collectively looking a lot more like how the world looks and is more driven by social impact purpose. \n\nDream DAO is a key driver in helping make this a reality.\n\nWe are helping build the web3 x social impact ecosystem by investing in three complementary areas of focus:\n\n1. **EMPOWERING LEARNING COMMUNITIES:** The Dream DAO cultivates an empowering, intergenerational, global community and offers a range of learning + mentorship opportunities that help young people gain confidence and experience at the intersection of web3 x social impact. The core \u201cproduct\u201d of the learning community is the \u201cLearning Together\u201d series, which is hosted twice a week and features a community member or guest hosting a lecture on a web3 concept and spreading the word on the Solarpunk future we envision will come with web3 x social impact. Past guest hosts have included Gitcoin founder Kevin Owocki, Ethereum Foundation Executive Director Aya Miyaguchi, renowned web3 educator Samina, co-founder of Constitution DAO Graham Novak, and many more web3 luminaries.\n2. **WEB3 X SOCIAL IMPACT INTERNSHIP PROGRAM:** A two-month internship program called the Dream DAO Explorers Program\u2014for 15-20-year-olds seeking to be and build the future of web3 x social impact. Dream DAO has placed over 15 Builders in social impact web3 organizations including Celo\u2019s Climate Collective, AERA Force, Protein, and dOrg.\n3. **IRL REGEN WEB3 GATHERINGS:** We convene diverse, inspiring, regen-minded thinkers and builders in a way that forges relationships and collaborations across the \u201cregen web3\u201d movement (and builds excitement for the idea of hiring more regen Gen Zers). In-person convenings fill attendees with inspiration which is why Dream DAO pays for some of our community members to travel to, co-organize, and operate these events.\n\nMembers of the Dream DAO will go on to build world-changing DAOs, create web3 x social impact projects that make unprecedented progress on entrenched social issues, and become moral and tech-savvy leaders of their respective industries. We owe it to our progeny to leave the world better than we found it. A web3 native institution that produces web3-powered civic superheroes is a public good if we've ever seen one.\n\n# **Our Impact so far?**\n\nOur project is important because The Dream DAO is the first organization to build a pipeline of Gen Z talent and to equip them to work effectively at the intersection of web3 and social impact. We aspire to attract the best young talent and to channel significant crypto capital to develop thousands of Gen Z civic innovators by 2030.\n\nSince Dream DAO was launched in December 2021, we have:\n\n1. **Hosted 80 learning together sessions**, bringing leaders from different spaces across web3 to give a talk about a topic of their choice that fits Dream DAO's mission of leveraging the web3 x social impact space.\n2. **Funded 20+ builders to attend NFT NYC, Web3Conf Goa, ETHMexico, and Devcon VI**, with our community winning 3 awards in the ETHMexico hackathon.\n3. Partnered with Organizations like Celo\u2019s Climate Collective, AERA Force, Protein and dOrg to **host over 15 Dream DAO builders to intern** in their organizations, giving them their first working experience and an additional stipend to leverage their studies and lives.\n4. Launched a **2-month mentorship program**, matching a dozen Builders with Champions for direct mentorship and guidance.\n5. Launched and hosted the first **DreamDAO Bootcamp**; an intensive month of Web3 learnings for 43 young leaders that applied to join the DAO. We taught our new builders the foundations of blockchain technology, web3, and their social impact potential, while also onboarding them as contributors to the DAO.\n\n# **The Future?**\n\nBy 2030, Dream DAO will have directly supported hundreds of Gen Z builders to impact their local communities and the world, trained them to start social impact DAOs and orgs that focus on public goods, and inspired over a thousand more Gen Zers outside of the DAO to explore and work in the web3 x social impact space.\n\n### Season 4 Vision\n\nThis season new structures, opportunities, and evolvement are coming to Dream DAO. Besides the ******************************areas of focus,****************************** we have been following in the past couple of years since the DAO was launched, we are now working towards a new future. \n\nSince its kickoff, we have realized that is not just important to educate GenZ on web3 and help them to be onboarded in the space. We also have to support and engage in the creation of their own projects, initiatives, and support, mainly, on-the-ground work. \n\nFor this next semester, in which Dream DAO Season Four will be taking part, we plan to launch a new learning pathway for our builders:\n\n- a capstone project program, in which builders can get together, either as a team or individually mentoring one another, to ideate and build a prototype of their own public good;\n- study group sessions for those focused on web3 literacy;\n- community events that will engage you, our amazing external supporters that do deserve to engage more with our DAO mission;\n- bring an ************************************************on-the-ground bounties************************************************ platform that will allow builders to contribute, more actively, with different organizations that are doing local hands-on-working impact;\n- onboard new builders (20-25 GenZs) to flourish with our community and keep our mission within the web3 x social impact ecosystem.\n\nCrucially, Gitcoin funding is vital for supporting the DAO operations that will allow Dream DAO to continue to work towards its mission to onboard thousands of GenZ leaders into the web3 social impact space over the coming years.\n\n**If you want to learn more you can:**\n\nRead more [here](https://www.canva.com/design/DAFdGKwDD2Q/uwd9CEd8rhV82iMWZligGg/view?utm_content=DAFdGKwDD2Q&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=homepage_design_menu)\n\nJoin our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/jdFwA6RjQK)\n\nWe look forward to dreaming up better futures with you!", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "DreamDAO_"}, "recipient": "0x42eA99EE6FfF2Dc8d4c3F95eCcD17C5055905139"}}
