U.S. Dream Academy, Inc
In 1998, Phipps founded and created the U.S. Dream Academy, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a values-based, interactive, tutorial and remedial education program targeted at children and youth-at-risk through community Family Learning Centers located in various states. Seeing a need, Phipps wanted something to help break the cycle he saw played out so many times in his own family. Wintley formed the U.S. Dream Academy to help children who've had a family member behind bars. The program provides mentoring, academic tutoring, and exposure to computers and the Internet. Wintley says, "Just the computers themselves are not going to transform the lives of these kids," and "The most important part of our program is really the caring, loving adults who surround them."
The academy has garnered recognition from Oprah Winfrey and former President Bill Clinton .Cite web |url= http://www.oprah.com/uyl/angel/uyl_angel_20010611.jhtml |title=Unplanned. Unrehearsed.
