I had never heard of this place before but it's truly an amazing place! The name is very fitting for the amazing work that is done here. Their store was filled with brand new items (many popular brands) fitting every style and size. They also include necessities such as backpacks, shoes, toilet paper, etc and the rule is YOU CAN TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU NEED! Usually there's a limit but not here, they provide you with trash bags and you can take as much as needed. They also have an area for groceries, toys, hot food, and so much more! It was truly amazing working here and seeing so many families being helped. There were so many volunteers and so much resources being passed out, I've never see anything like it. I recommend this place for anyone who is having a tough time, facing homelessness, job loss, etc to seek this place out. They also help with finding housing and schooling. Such a valuable place to the city of Los Angeles!

But Ruben was beyond amazing. He answered all our questions and gave us information about how Dream Center gives back to the community. It really made me happy to know that dad's old clothes were going to a place that give away the clothes and not sell them. Thank you Ruben for making our morning so amazing. Especially after driving in 1.5 hours of traffic :P

I work in retail and see him working around the clock, night and day for his community. I let him know that I knew of people who needed help and he offered to extend his hours so I can stop by after work to pick up what my friends needed. In addition to his local contributions he also ships containers to the communities in the country of Trinidad. He's showed me footage of his work which I believe he uploads to a YouTube channel, and you can see the joy in his eyes when he puts a smile on someone's face. If you ever want to donate to a good cause, this organization is the real deal. Thank you Noel, you're very much appreciated.

This organization rules! I've been a mentor with Operation Jump Start for three years now and it's…read morebeen an amazing experience. I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking to volunteer in the community and help make a difference. It's a five year commitment - you get paired up with an eighth grader and you are their mentor until they graduate from high school. The goal of the program is to encourage them and provide guidance to help them along the way. You are required to spend a minimum of eight hours per month with your mentee - but scheduled program activities count towards those eight hours. The people who run the program - Carrie, Tina and Dara - are amazing. Carrie does such a good job pairing up mentors and mentees. Operation Jump Start has a great support system so you never feel like you are alone - they are there for you every step of the way. The program offers structured activities through out the year - and they vary from workshops to museum trips to Cirque du Soleil to rock climbing, etc. It's so much fun. I've done so many things I never thought I'd do like surfing and snowboarding - and going to the opera!

I've been mentoring for a few months, but am already a big supporter of the organization. I highly…read morerecommend this organization for anyone looking to become a mentor. They offer mostly structured meetings to help the students. So as a mentor you don't always need to worry about planning what to do. As Kreuzensolo mentions, you do spend some of your own money, but the organization never asks you to spend anything you don't want to. It is completely up to you. There is never any pressure. As Mary mentions, the organization provides great support for the mentors and more importantly the students. Like any non-profit they suffer from being understaffed and underfunded. As a result some of the sessions could be better organized. However the effort put in by leaders such as Erik can't be questioned. All the mentors and staff genuinely want to see the students succeed and get to college. If you feel strongly about helping educate under served students, then I highly recommend checking the organization out.
