Jeffrey Harlan,  Founder, Board Chief Vision Officer, Program Director
Jeffrey created Dreamline when he recognized that schools were focused too much on skills and job readiness and not enough on purposeful life in community – and that the critical missing element was dreams.  A 30-year veteran educator, Jeffrey’s deep understanding of children and schools has informed his work creating programming that is supported by, not driven by, technical innovation.
