Forms FAQ’s Contact Us RETURN TO CITY SERVICES What is the Share A Dream Sponsorship Program? The Share A Dream program gives eligible youth from low and moderate-income families an opportunity to participate in San Gabriel’s recreation classes and activities at a reduced fee. The Share A Dream program is funded through contributions from individuals, local businesses and community groups. Who may apply? Families who live within the San Gabriel city limits or whose children attend San Gabriel schools are eligible to apply for a sponsorship for any of their children ages 17 and under. Proof of yearly income must be submitted in order to determine if the family’s income meets HUD guidelines for low and moderate income. What percentage of fees does the sponsorship pay? Each eligible family (household) may receive up to $100 per year. Class/activity fees will be reduced by 25%, 50% or 75% depending on household income and the number of people in the family (household), or as determined by Administrative staff. The remainder of the class/activity fee must be paid by the applicant at the time of registration. How do I apply for a Share A Dream sponsorship? Complete the application and read the “Verification of Financial Eligibility” to determine the proof of income that you will need to submit with your application. Please fill out a separate application for a foster child or for each child who is a ward of the court. They are considered a household of one. Attach photocopies of all financial documents required (as listed on the “Verification of Eligibility.”) If you submit an incomplete application (missing documents verifying your financial status), this will delay the application process. All information will be kept confidential. Submit applications with photocopies of financial documents at least one week before the registration deadline or one week before the first meeting date of a class/activity. This will allow time to process your application. Mail your completed application and photocopies of financial documents to: Share A Dream Sponsorship, San Gabriel Parks and Recreation, 250 South Mission Drive, San Gabriel, CA 91776; or Return to the Recreation Office, 250 South Mission Drive, Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
