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.
