Dreambrokers
Makerspace partners with Dreambrokers to provide a wide range of programming services for the inner-city school they work with. From focused 4 week programs, 10 week extended programs, 18 week full programs, or even a dedicated week of summer camp, Dreambrokers has been instrumental in helping us to provide enriching hands-on learning to many youth who don’t have the same sort of opportunities as many other families in the city.
