Through empowerment, leadership and constant motivation, the Dream Academy has created a path to success for students throughout Monterey County. The Dream Academy has helped shape our next generation of future leaders by surrounding them with educational opportunities and leadership trainings geared toward higher education. I am proud to say that several students from the Dream Academy participated and graduated from my former Young Assemblymembers Program. During my time in the State Assembly, and now as the Monterey County Supervisor for District 1, it continues to be a priority to provide career opportunities for our youth. I applaud the Dream Academy for their continued commitment to offer motivational support for our youth as they work toward their educational goals.
