OperationDREAM North

Operation DREAM North is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering at-risk youth and fostering community development in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Building upon the legacy of Operation DREAM, which began in Milwaukee in 2007, Operation DREAM North was established to address the lack of youth programs and cultural community engagement in the region.

Our mission is to add value to the City of Oshkosh and the State of Wisconsin by providing youth and community programs that educate and serve local residents.

At Operation DREAM North, we believe in the power of collaboration and community involvement. We work closely with local schools, businesses, and other organizations to create a supportive network that nurtures the potential of every child. Our dedicated team of professionals and volunteers is committed to making a positive impact, ensuring that each participant receives the guidance and resources necessary to thrive.

Through our efforts, we aim to inspire a new generation of leaders who will contribute to the well-being and prosperity of their communities. By focusing on education, mentorship, and community service, Operation DREAM North fosters an environment where all youth and residents have the opportunity to realize their dreams and build a brighter future.

Operation DREAM North is more than a nonprofit—it’s a movement of transformation, hope, and purpose. What sets us apart from other organizations is our holistic approach to youth development. By providing academic support, mentorship, job training, and opportunities for community service, we foster a strong sense of belonging and empower individuals to shine. We don’t just offer programs—we build personalized pathways and meaningful relationships that help each participant grow and contribute to society.

At the heart of our youth programs is a passionate team of mentors, educators, and community leaders. Their dedication goes beyond service—it’s about igniting a spark in every child and guiding them toward their fullest potential.

When you support or partner with Operation DREAM North, you become part of a mission that breaks barriers, nurtures untapped brilliance, and empowers the next generation to become global leaders. Together, we’re not just changing lives—we’re making dreams a reality.
