Our newest exciting expansion of the Dreamstarter Program is Dreamstarter Incubator! The Dreamstarter Incubator is designed to continue supporting the dreams of Native youth for the long-term, outside of Dreamstarter cash grants. Each of these Dreamstarters launched their dreams and their careers with their first Dreamstarter grant. Since then, they have grown in their skills in and passion for their professions, and are committed to deepening their impact with continued and expanded support from Running Strong.

Running Strong works collaboratively with past Dreamstarters to develop and operate NEW impactful Running Strong programs inspired by their dreams. Dreamstarters bring their vision, passion, and commitment to improving the lives of tribal communities across the nation, and Running Strong provides the network, mentorship and financial, technical, and logistical support to launch and run these new programs – with Dreamstarters at the helm. Together, Running Strong and Native youth are creating positive change in Native communities.
