Directing through Recreation, Education, Adventure, and Mentoring (DREAM) is a mentoring organization that serves youth ages 5-18 living in affordable housing neighborhoods. It aims to close the opportunity gap and empower young people through structured activities and mentorship.
As a mentor with DREAM, students engage with youth each Friday, participating in fun activities such as apple-picking, hiking, and ceramics. The program utilizes a larger group mentoring model while also focusing on establishing one-on-one mentor-mentee relationships.
DREAM is best suited for students who enjoy working with young people and want to make a positive impact in their lives. Training and guidance are provided to support mentor interactions with the youth and enhance their experience.
