Conceive A Dream Foundation

Shantrice was bestowed with the vision that is now Conceive A Dream Foundation, Inc. Literally conceived from her very own experiences of being a single mother during college, through her struggles of learning (and many times falling short) how to balance full time collegiate life, full time employment, and full time parenthood, this dream was nourished. Upon reflecting on her experience of being a unmarried young mother in the collegiate atmosphere, she realized her need for guidance, educational and financial support, and continuous encouragement along this arduous journey, many of which were deficient in her life while in college. Then reflecting even deeper upon her journey, she realized the deficiency began well before college and was not purely unique to women with children in school. But similarly, this need is present in children and youth living in underserved communities, who are in dire need of guidance, role models, and support.
