Kristina Johnsen Founder and CEO of Have Dreams
At Have Dreams, we celebrate breakthroughs, big and small, together. Whether it’s our participants securing competitive employment through the Have Dreams Academy, making a new friend in our after-school SCILS class, or independently following a cooking recipe to completion in our adult Life SCILS program, we commemorate these achievements as a team. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to fulfill Have Dreams’ mission: to help individuals with autism learn, function independently and socialize so that they may realize their full potential and develop into contributing members of their communities. As Have Dreams supporters, it's important to know that we want to celebrate you, friends who have invested in our mission and work. Because of your generosity, Have Dreams has reached more special education professionals through increased in- school consultations, expanded our counseling services offerings by hiring more professional therapists and offering a free support group, extended our Have Dreams Academy workforce training program to 24 weeks, added more social skills groups for teens and adults, and more. We invite you to look through the pages of our 2024 Gratitude Report to see what we’ve done TOGETHER to serve the community, and hope you enjoy these inspiring stories illuminating the impact of Have Dreams' important mission and work.
2024 was a year of growth, learning, and transformation. None of it would have been possible without your trust and investment. Your loyalty and encouragement have helped Have Dreams innovate, lead with purpose and stay true to our mission.
With immense gratitude, Kristina Johnsen
