Welcome to the new TalentDreams website!


Changing lives, one conversation at a time.™

Creating Space for Life-Changing Conversations

TalentDreams is a free e-mentoring platform that connects members with mentors. Members are youth and young adults ages 14-22, and we call them DREAMERS. Mentors come from all walks of life and we call them CHAMPIONS. Champions are amazing resources for our Dreamers to tap into and learn from.

Become a Dreamer today to connect with a Champion (for free!) and get life advice, open new doors, and develop your passions.

We’re a nonprofit organization that believes in the power and potential of the youth and young adults we serve! With the right guidance, resources, and support, our Dreamers can accomplish BIG things — and our Champions are here to help.

Knowing where to go next isn’t always clear

Young adulthood is a period of transition and challenge– a time when young people can often feel alone and overwhelmed.

What happens next? Where do I go from here? How do I get there?

Adolescence is the process of developing into an adult. For many – this period of time when high school is concluding and the next step is unfolding – is challenging. It can be scary, filled with change. It can be turbulent and chaotic. At times it can feel overwhelming and like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Like your every decision will determine the rest of your life. And some of them might. It’s a complicated time.

We understand because we’ve been there, too. Every TalentDreams staff member, Supporter and Champion has had his or her own life changed through a single conversation with someone they had the chance to speak with. We want to share that opportunity with all young people.

Age, race, gender, income, interests…doesn’t matter! ALL youth are welcome in the TalentDreams.

Our Champions help youth find their paths & navigate life

Through our network of dedicated volunteer Mentors, we help youth turn a potentially turbulent and confusing time into a period of growth and opportunity.

How? By making space for life-changing conversations! Our online platform brings youth and mentors together to develop meaningful mentor-mentee relationships. All free, all online.

As a Dreamer, it’s easy. Just log into the TalentDreams platform, use our simple wizard to set up your profile, and we’ll match you with relevant Champions based on  the things you’d like to learn about.

You can sync up to talk about whatever you are interested in! Life plans, next steps, big dreams, day-to-tay concerns – it’s all fair game.

“I’ve been with TalentDreams since day one! I was in college at UC Berkeley and unsure of my career path when I first had a chance to connect with a Champion from TalentDreams. I learned more about a potential career in Tech and what it would be like to work at an early-stage startup. This created the foundation for an incredible professional journey and helped jumpstart my career at the time. TalentDreams opens up a world of opportunity by making it easy to connect with mentors from all walks of life. This is an organization that understands what youth and young adults face, and is passionate about listening to, understanding, and empowering Dreamers.”
