The non-profit organisation and campaign was founded by Young as a response to school budget cuts directly affecting arts education offerings.

"With the loss of the art & music programs kids are offered less and less chances to be creative and the result is less of a chance for them to know what lies outside the box," the organisations website read.

"Not developing that creative side results in not wanting to explore and live out their dreams. The Dream Loud organisation is to encourage those kids and anyone who never received the encouragement to DREAM LOUD!! To pursue those dreams! The things that scare us the most are the most worth while!"
