Thank you for your interest in The DREAM Program.
DREAM's mission is to work towards closing the opportunity gap for youth living in low-income housing communities. We do this by providing a variety of programming and mentorship to the youth enrolled in our organization. Mentors and mentees meet to build community through shared activities, both in groups and one-on-one. In Philadelphia, we are partnered with many socioeconomically disadvantaged communities, if you are accepted to the program you will be assigned to one of those chapters.
To learn more about DREAM visit our site: https://www.dreamprogram.org/
Programs time Commitment: 3:30-6:30 pm every Friday during the youth's academic year (October to May) and weekly 1-hour planning meetings. Programs follow your college's schedule and will be on hold during Thanksgiving, Winter Break, and Spring Break. Mentors are volunteers who commit to the program for their duration of their time in college.
If your application is selected you will be asked to participate in a 30 minute interview with our Mentor Coordinators.
