Dream Builders 4 Equity is a nonprofit based in St. Louis, Missouri, focused on improving outcomes for at-risk youth through mentorship, entrepreneurship training, scholarships, and leadership development. The group operates an asset-building model that enables youth to earn financial ownership in real estate located in low-income and highly distressed neighborhoods, earned by completing life and job-skill courses and by contributing to community development efforts. Participants are also required to publish a book that describes their experiences and the program’s impact on their lives and future plans. As a small-to-mid-sized organization, Dream Builders directs profits from its real estate and book activities toward the students’ college-related expenses and toward funding additional projects and community improvements, such as parks and community centers. In December 2019, YourWords STL partnered with Dream Builders 4 Equity for a book-signing event and a poetry slam titled Dreams Made Real.
