The More Than a Dream Foundation is dedicated to empowering individuals, strengthening families, and uplifting underserved communities across Louisiana, Texas, and Florida.

Through education, mentorship, workforce development, and targeted family support, we equip transitioning youth and single mothers with the tools needed to thrive. In collaboration with strategic partners and dedicated volunteers, we aim to inspire hope, promote independence, and build brighter futures!

Our Founder

Led by heart. Built for community.

Kyna Jones founded More Than a Dream Foundation on a simple belief: a dream, on its own, should never be all a person has.

There's a place for you here.
