Back-to-school should feel like a fresh start but for many Gen Z students, especially high-potential women from underserved communities, it’s a season full of academic, financial, and emotional pressure. At 1,000 Dreams Fund, we’re here to help lighten the load. Our latest LinkedIn Newsletter from Founder & CEO Christie Garton dives into what Gen Z is really facing - and how we're responding with support that goes beyond just funding: mentorship, career readiness, and meaningful opportunity. Let’s reduce the pressure and increase the possibilities together.
