Big Thought is a Dallas nonprofit focused on closing the opportunity gap for young people. Its stated goal is to equip all youth to imagine and create their best lives.
The organization works in three ways. It runs programs directly for young people, it builds partnerships and learning systems that help other community groups run better programs, and it shares what it learns with other organizations through the Big Thought Institute.
Its initiatives include Dallas City of Learning, the Dreamkeeper leadership series and work with opportunity youth, the young adults who are out of school and out of work. Big Thought also offers a 20-week Certified Clinical Medical Assistant training program, with free training for those who qualify.
Its offices sit at Pegasus Park alongside The Dallas Foundation and other nonprofits, on a campus that brings charitable groups and life science companies together.
