Every girl has a dream. We help her drive toward it.

Dream Girl Golf Foundation pairs girls in and aging out of foster care with successful mentors, therapy, education, and the game of golf, building the patience, self-control, and confidence to live their dreams.

She should not have to start over alone.

Girls leaving foster care often lose stability and mentorship at the very moment they need them most. The research is clear about what follows.

Golf teaches what a good life asks of us.

On the course, girls practice the habits that carry into every room they will ever walk into, alongside mentors from business and the community who show them what is possible.

Patience

Golf rewards steady practice over quick wins. Girls learn that progress is built one shot at a time.

Self-control

Every swing is a choice made calmly. That steadiness carries into school, work, and relationships.

Confidence

A girl who can walk onto any course can walk into any meeting, and knows she belongs there.

Every girl deserves someone who believes in her.

Dream Girl Golf Foundation was founded on a simple truth: every little girl has a dream. Girls in and aging out of foster care deserve the same chance to chase theirs.

Our mission is to help girls in and aging out of foster care realize their potential, through mentorship in business and networking, a community of successful people who believe in them, and the game of golf.

A note from our founder.

Over the years, I have noticed something about women. The confidence a woman carries into a room is so often shaped by what she lived through long before she got there. Pain from the past can quietly become the way she sees herself, and the way she decides what she deserves.

That is why I started Dream Girl Golf Foundation. I believe that if we reach girls when they are young and surround them with support and community, we can change what they come to believe about themselves. When a girl grows up around confident, successful women who show up for her, she begins to see what is possible. And when she sees it, she may make different choices as she becomes an adult.

Above all, I want these girls to learn self-love. It is the foundation for every good decision they will make. Golf is how we begin, one patient swing at a time, but the real work is helping a girl believe she is worthy of the dream she carries.

With all my heart,[Naomi Vallez], Founder, Dream Girl Golf Foundation

Why golf.

Golf is played one shot at a time, and it asks for patience, self-control, and confidence. On the course, girls practice those habits beside mentors who show them they belong in every room they walk into.

Our promise to the girls.

  • We will show up, again and again.
  • We will protect her privacy and her story.
  • We will see a girl with a dream, never a case file.
  • We will believe in her before she believes in herself.

What we hope for her at twenty-five.

We picture a young woman with a safe place to live, work or school she is proud of, and people she can call. She knows her worth. She chooses relationships that honor it, and she carries a quiet confidence she built herself.

And one day, she reaches back to help the next girl.
