Co-Founder Chrishana Fields was a teenage mother who successfully navigated the difficult waters of raising a child, finishing her education, and not just seeking gainful employment, but also preparing herself for a career.  Co-Founder Sheldon Fields, a Sacramento native and retired firefighter, has lived a life of service mentoring through programs such as Junior Fire Setters, LINKS Mentoring, and the California Youth Authority.

Together Chrishana and Sheldon encountered areas in which underserved youth could be assisted to achieve successful outcomes into adulthood.  As a result, Dreamer 2 Dream was formed to help provide that assistance.  Three family generations -- the mother of Sheldon Fields, husband and wife duo Chrishana and Sheldon Fields, along with their now adult children -- have come together to give back to Sacramento area youth.  We at Dreamer 2 Dream believe with exposure, preparation, opportunity, and perseverance success is truly possible for all.
