Step inside iFoster’s Dream Factory, where innovation, sustainability, and opportunity come together to transform lives. As a key player in California’s circular economy, iFoster is creating career pathways for foster and disconnected youth while directly addressing California’s textile waste crisis—one of the state’s largest environmental challenges.

Through our groundbreaking ReMade program, which aligns with California’s SB707 initiative to prevent clothing, footwear, and textiles from reaching landfills, iFoster is pioneering reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling solutions. Our partnership with major brands, CalRecycle, and state leadership positions us at the forefront of California’s sustainable workforce development.

The Dream Factory is more than a workspace—it’s a policy-driven launchpad where ReMade comes to life. Visitors will see how donated materials are reimagined into new products, how youth gain hands-on training in the high-paying circular economy careers of tomorrow, and how comprehensive support systems guide them toward stable, meaningful employment in sustainability.

ReMade delivers a triple bottom-line impact: addressing our community’s greatest need for affordable clothing, tackling California’s landfill waste problem, and providing workforce development in the circular economy—exactly what transition-age youth need most.

As a national nonprofit with deep California roots, iFoster is dedicated to ensuring young people in foster care have access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. The Dream Factory brings that mission to life through ReMade, turning potential into progress, policy into practice, and possibility into a sustainable future.
