About Dream Yard
Dream Yard’s mission is to collaborate with Bronx youth, families and schools to build pathways to equity and opportunity through the arts. Dream Yard Project is the largest arts provider in the Bronx, and uses project-based arts learning to ignite the transformative spirit in youth, public schools and communities. Dream Yard’s school-based and out of school programs are based on 21st century learning and social justice pedagogy principles.
Our work is aligned with the NYC Department of Education Blueprint for the Arts and the NY State Learning Standards, and encourages young people to pursue educational pathways toward higher learning, meaningful careers and social action. Our nationally recognized programming has grown tremendously in response to student interest and community need. Co-Executive directors Jason Duchin and Tim Lord founded Dream Yard in 1994.
Since then, Dream Yard has worked with more than 100 public schools and over 100,000 young people and families. Dream Yard has developed a robust educational community in the Bronx – from its network of 45 partnering public schools including the DY Preparatory High School to year-long programs at the DY Art Center.
