"I waited patiently
for the Lord;
And he inclined to me,
And heard my cry.
He also brought me up out of
a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
He has put a new song in my mouth -
Praise to our God;
Many will see It and fear
And will trust in The Lord."
PSALM 40:1-3
It
was these biblical words that inspired Ron Brown to create
the Urban Dreams Foundation. In addition to being an
accomplished saxophonist and producer, Brown is also an educator
and a mentor to youth. He clearly remembers the tough times
associated with starting out in life, or launching a new endeavor.
"Though struggle can make you appreciate success,"
Brown says, "working smarter will get you there sooner."
He believes character, integrity and faith are the missing
elements in the lives of most of today's youth, and seeks
to instill these values through the foundation.
The
Urban Dreams Foundation is a non-profit arts based
educational foundation. The mission of the Urban Dreams Foundation
is to inspire and motivate young urban people to reach their
potential, by teaching success principles through the arts.
According to Brown, "the goal is to help young people
work smarter to make their upward climb a little smoother."
At the Urban Dreams Foundation, we believe that every young
person has the potential for success. We also know that few
of us make it to the top alone. To accomplish our mission,
we educate young artists through workshops and seminars, one-on-one
mentoring and performance showcases. Through various projects,
participants will explore, challenge and adjust their beliefs,
core values and work ethic to achieve their highest level
of personal and professional success.
The
Urban Dreams Foundation is an idea and an organization.
It is an idea that depends on the belief that as human beings,
we can simultaneously pursue our individual dreams while helping
to nurture the dreams of others. it is an organization dedicated
to making this idea real. Friends and members of the Dream
Team believe in life's interconnectedness and the importance
of recognizing the threads that bind people to each other.
The Urban Dreams Foundation embodies the idea that we can
think beyond the boundaries of ourselves while enjoying the
pleasure of giving to others.
The
Urban Dreams Foundation works in partnership with individual
and corporate friends who see in our work improvement in their
own condition. We constantly seek those who would join us
of our mission. The improvement of young urban life is the
improvement of human life. Brown and members of the Dream
Team are seeking and sharing the possibilities.
We
invite you to
with us.
