WHAT IS THE D.R.E.A.M. CURRICULUM and WHY?

The D.R.E.A.M. Curriculum is an educational program, that clearly lays out the road map for youth to set their own goals and take action to achieve them. It's easy to follow and easy to remember with its 5 Step/10 Lesson curriculum. D.R.E.A.M. uses a two-pronged approach, having the students set both a Community Dream as well as a Personal Dream, in order to show that the D.R.E.A.M. approach can be applied to any situation.

This program was created to get youth to think and to D.R.E.A.M. Its first lesson was created to jump start that process before any goals are even thought about or set, by having the students write an essay defining "What Reach Your Peak means to me", in 250 words or less. The top essays from each school will be sent to RYP and the winners will be chosen by our selection committee. Grants of varying monetary value will be awarded to those schools whose student(s) have been selected not only for their essay, but also for how successfully they took action to reach their goals. These grants will be used to further meet the needs of their school or communities.

"If we can teach youth from an early age to go after their dreams and give back to their communities, they will have a greater sense of self-confidence and responsibility, and a chance at continuing on that process for generations to come, as well as live more truthful and fulfilling lives."
