Dreamer Scholars Volunteer with Elders
 |
Fifth graders in the"I Have A Dream" program at Columbine Elementary recently started volunteering at Frasier Meadows, helping senior citizens with fun group activities, like drum circle and card games. The Dreamer Scholars also help residents return to their rooms after the activities.
"I Have A Dream" program services include more than just
academic support
. We help kids learn about the impact of service to their community. We want them to know they can make a difference in their world.
Dreamer Scholars say the experience has been wonderful. Selena says, "Volunteering is amazing. The people are funny and nice. They tell us cool stories about the past." Ashley says, "I felt nervous at first but then I got used to it. It's good that we go there to care for them...so seniors don't get lonely."

Interns Make Connections to Ignite Their Futures
An internship can ignite passion, teach skills, and make connections that last long into a student's future. We want every Dreamer Scholar to have this opportunity, so this year, we're doubling the size of our internship program!
Get involved by volunteering for our Career Readiness Bootcamp! We need 30 volunteers to be mock interviewers on Saturday, March 17 to help prepare Dreamer Scholars for their internship interviews.
