Through a community vote, the Dream was named by the city of Atlanta after MLK Jr’s “I Have a Dream” Speech. Dr. King’s values have been established as part of the Dream’s DNA, and living into those values is a responsibility and a privilege that the Dream and The King Center take very seriously. That is why the Dream and The King Center have established a longstanding partnership that continues to grow.

Our Partnership With the King Center

In 2022, the Dream became the first professional team named as member of the Beloved Community. In 2023, the Dream staff visited the King Center to kick off the Non-Violence 365 training program. In 2024, the first cohort of the Emerging Dreamers program was successfully completed. The King Center and the Dream collaborated to bring 12 college students together for a 4-week program that culminated in a round table discussion about reshaping the cultural landscape of Atlanta and beyond with Dr. Bernice King. 

Emerging Dreamers Program

The Atlanta Dream, in partnership with the King Center, invite college students in the Atlanta area to participate in the 2025 cohort of the “Emerging Dreamers: A Roundtable Conversation Focused on Transforming the Culture” program.

This immersive program will give students the opportunity to complete The King Center's Nonviolence365 Masterclass virtual training. The training helps students engage in the concepts of transforming culture and mobilizing student peer groups to address issues of social justice. and inequality. Students will also have the unique opportunity to earn volunteer hours at The King Center, participate in interactive workshops at the Atlanta Dream headquarters and will be invited to attend an Atlanta Dream home game! At the conclusion of the program, the students will also participate in a social justice roundtable discussion, in a conversation with Dr. Bernice King. The roundtable discussion, hosted at the King Center, will be open to the public and will give the students the opportunity to offer their insights and perspectives on mobilizing for change.

We are proud to launch the second cohort of the Emerging Dreamers program to continue living Dr. King’s values.
