ARIIX is proud to help sponsor Wintley Phipps and the U.S. Dream Academy – making a difference for at-risk youth.
World renown gospel singer Wintley Phipps founded in the U.S. Dream Academy in 1998 to help children and at-risk youth get connected with Learning Centers that provide values-based, interactive tutorial and remedial education programs. The overall goal is to nurture the whole child while altering attitudes, enhancing self-esteem, supporting emotional and intellectual growth, and sparking dreams. Wintley’s program is aimed specifically towards young people who have a family member living in prison, because he has seen how education and positive role models can help dramatically change the future of this vulnerable group.
He has lectured around the world and has performed for Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama as well as for Mother Teresa and South Africa’s President Nelson Mandela. He has also appeared on television programs like The Oprah Winfrey Show, Saturday Night Live and Soul Train. Wintley and his wife Linda Diane Galloway Phipps have three sons: Wintley Augustus II, Winston Adriel, and Wade Alexander.
