MILKEN CENTER FOR ADVANCING
THE AMERICAN DREAM
The Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream (MCAAD), a part of the Milken Institute, is
dedicated to the ideal at the heart of the American Dream, to support the aspirations of people
everywhere to create thriving, prosperous lives. We aim to inspire visitors to discover and
pursue their own dreams, find their path, and achieve their goals.
Through a focus on four pillars—education, finance, health, and entrepreneurship—the
center explores the challenges to achieving the American Dream and identifies
solutions that create pathways to success. In September 2025, we opened to
the public and, in just the first few months, have welcomed more than 50,000
visitors. This immersive space features interactive exhibits, powerful stories
from diverse voices, and awe-inspiring installations that showcase
the many facets of the American Dream. By combining compelling
stories with data-driven insights, the center offers visitors the
chance to reflect on their own aspirations, share their stories,
and engage with programs designed to inspire action
and hope.
Join us as we work together to ensure that
opportunity, economic mobility, and the promise
of a better future continue to thrive for
generations to come.
