According to its website and promotional materials, Realizing the Dream's work consists of five separate programs:
The Poverty Project seeks to redress poverty both in the
United States and throughout the world. The domestic aspect of the program is the Poverty in America project, which "is a national call to leadership aimed at fueling local efforts to ignite
sustainable private
investment in communities carrying the legacy of the
King name." The effort is focused on the "50 Communities Network," which is a "coalition of
community organizers, organizations, and local leadership with whom Mr. King has visited, toured, and engaged since the inception of Realizing the Dream, Inc." The international component of the effort is currently in development, but Realizing the Dream has begun to establish it through recent visits to
India,
Kenya,
Serbia and
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Generation II Global Peace (Gen II) brings together the second generation of some of the 20th century's most prominent peace icons to address instances of conflict and injustice worldwide. According to Realizing the Dream's website, the program was launched in
London, England in July 2007, with the inaugural members being King
Abdullah II of Jordan; Christine Chavez-Delgado;
Nadim Gemayel;
Saad Hariri;
Kerry Kennedy; Martin Luther King III; Cheml Peres;
Dalia Rabin-Pelossof;
Justin Trudeau; and Naomi Tutu.
International Youth Corps is a
leadership development program for young people, aged 18–35, who are recruited to join Realizing the Dream on international trips. The Corps has engaged in two separate journeys to date, the first to
Israel in March 2008 and the second to Kenya in March 2009.
