Ambitious folks often ask us, “How can I start a program like DREAMS in my community?” If this question is on your mind, kudos! Launching an arts program for youth in need is one of the most amazing experiences you’ll ever have. It’s also one of the most challenging, which is why we’re assembling a toolkit—complete with sample curricula, a DVD, and insights from our executive director and founder—to walk you through the process, step by step. From doing a needs assessment to choosing a board, planning curriculum to managing a staff of teaching artists, engaging your teenage students to evaluating your program, we’re there to guide you along each step of this incredible journey. If you’d like to be notified when the toolkit is available for purchase, email us at dreamscenter@ec.rr.com.
