Dream Leaders is an extraordinary student leadership program developed by Dreams for Kids to celebrate and enhance the unique ability in every child by giving them opportunities of service while working alongside children of diverse backgrounds. Long before walls can be built, prejudices can be formed and seclusion can result. We are creating opportunities that inspire youth to work and lead together.
We believe that education is one of the greatest tools we can give youth today. By fostering a generation of socially aware leaders, we can assist in making the next generation one that will change the world. We are committed to reminding children that they can achieve greatness.
Our objective is to form diverse groups of students that will be driven by discussion and collaborative teamwork. Dream Facilitators will lead a series of training workshops which establish three pillars of learning – Leadership, Social Issue Awareness, and Take Action Skills. Through this dynamic 3-pillar program, we help students create collaborative projects which serve both their local and global communities. We seek to inspire youth involvement in a way which encourages compassion for those who are close to home as well as those a world apart.
We will be assisting schools by helping students achieve their community service requirements. Our leadership training will reinforce and enhance a school’s programs, requiring no additional work from the school. By facilitating instruction and monitoring the progress of our programs, Dreams for Kids aims to supplement the work of increasingly overburdened teachers, ultimately allowing them more time for academic instruction.
