# Why We Exist

To better understand why we operate the way we do, it is important to understand why the Dream DAO exists. 

Powered by [Civics Unplugged](https://www.civicsunplugged.org), [Dream DAO](https://www.dreamdao.xyz) is a DAO that trains Gen Z to use web3 for good.

We do this primarily through... 

**Education**: Hosting Learning Sessions with leaders in web3 x social impact, like Kevin Owocki and Aya Miyaguchi. 

**Internships**: Hosting an internship program twice per-year to let young leaders put their knowledge into action at leading web3 organizations (like Celo and Regen Network). 

**Gatherings**: Sponsoring young leaders to attend their first web3 conference, and hosting our own events to onboard young people from all around the world. 

Our ultimate goal is a future where: 

* Communities everywhere have benefited from capable builders who used their web3 skills to regenerate communities and the planet 
* Virtually any young person, anywhere in the world can access education that helps them develop socially impactful web3 skills 

By 2030, Dream DAO will have: 

* Directly supported multiple thousands of Gen Z Builders in leveraging and building web3 to accelerate the flourishing of their communities and the world 
* Helped define a vision for and supercharge the development of the web3 x social impact ecosystem at large
