Founded in 2024 by a refugee, DREAM BIG uses sports to promote social inclusion, combat discrimination, and enhance physical and mental well-being. Our goal is to create safe and inclusive opportunities, especially for marginalized communities and individuals from migrant backgrounds.
"Through sports, we build stronger, healthier, and more connected communities."
We envision a world where sports break social and cultural barriers, fostering inclusion and well-being. Through our programs, we unite communities, empower migrants, and promote mental health awareness. At Dream Big, sports are our tool for a healthier, more inclusive future.
We use sports to create opportunities for marginalized youth, providing safe spaces to grow and thrive. Our mission includes inclusive tournaments, diversity training, community partnerships, and advocacy for mental health. Dream Big is where asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants find hope and belonging through sports.
We strive to raise mental health awareness, increase migrant youth participation in sports, and promote disease prevention through education. By partnering with organizations and evaluating our impact, Dream Big creates a more inclusive and hopeful future through sports.
