IN A
NUTSHELL
Men, women, and children in under-served communities often dream very practical in nature; school supplies, access, and affordability of youth programs and activities, career coaching; entrepreneurial assistance, budgeting basics, first-generation college student- now what, etc. The list can seem infinite, is overwhelming, and because resources and opportunities are so limited, their dreams have been silenced. Not by choice, but by their circumstance. As a result, they bury their dreams, are consumed by doubt and lose hope. This cycle of defeat repeats, leading to increased levels of stress and anxiety and below average ratings of self-ability and self-worth. Dandelion Dreams, Inc is passionate and purposed to awaken dreams that have been silenced by circumstance. Our programs and partnerships will empower mindsets and create access to opportunities uncommonly found in under-resourced communities. Our programmatic priorities are:
- Community Care & Connection - Our Community Care & Connection Priority is unapologetic about bringing the community closer. We sponsor our signature programs, such as The Dandelion Dreams Community Honors and Santa's North Pole Unwrapped and support and partner with other like-minded organizations to host events throughout the year.
- Tool K.i.T. (Knowledge In Transformation) - Knowledge in transformation is a journey to wisdom, and Tool K.i.T. facilitates efforts to get there. Simply stated, knowledge is having the facts and information. Understanding is the ability to translate the meaning from the facts. Wisdom is knowing what to do next, given the understanding of the facts and circumstance. The Tool K.i.T. program sponsors classes, engage in private consultations and partners with other organizations to teach essential and unique life skills. Target groups include, but are not limited to The Family Unit, Single Parents, Students, Career Coaching and more!
- TwentyTwo:6 - Proverbs 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Our TwentyTwo:6 Priority is two-fold; prioritizing the importance of the parent-child relationship. Our focus is centered on teaching, engaging and developing children into leaders. Integrity. responsibility, self-belief, and a host of other rotating topics are discussed in these fun and engaging workshops.
- Triple-E - We support inspiring entrepreneurs and facilitate the transition from idea to reality through our Enlighten Entrepreneurial Excellence Priority (aka Triple-E).
