The American Dream is the belief that anyone can attain their own version of success
in a society where achievement is possible for everyone.


Both simple and profound, The Key Idea Project unlocks, collects and showcases
the big ideas of adults and children as inspired by used keys.

Now more than ever, need to share our American Dreams.  
"We are more alike my friend than we are unalike." M. Angelou



The Keys to Our American Dreams national tour began in January 2020.
Like so many things, this project is on hold for awhile.

Thousands of KeyStories since 2014 have revealed the common optimism of people;   we are more alike than different. 

The KeyStories highlight both the diversity of this nation and our similarities. 
We are looking for Americans of all ages 1-100+ 
with any citizen status 
to share their big ideas and goals 
individuals, groups and communities.
Find out how.
