Enhance reading, writing and math capabilities
so Dreamers can succeed in school and, later, in careers.
|
|
Making learning, especially reading, a “want to” instead
of a “have to”.
|
|
Giving Dreamers the ability to understand what their own
dreams might look like and the preparation to make their dreams
a reality.
|
|
Helping Dreamers develop the life skills needed to succeed
in the everyday world.
|
|
Broadening the range of educational and cultural experiences
beyond Dreamers’ neighborhoods, but also showing them how
to make positive contributions to their own communities.
|
|
Preparing Dreamers to make good choices during adolescence:
avoiding drugs; gangs and unplanned pregnancies.
|
|
Creating personal bonds among Dreamers so there is a positive
group affiliation and sense of community for youth who may otherwise
have little stability in their lives.
|
|
Creating trust and respect amongst Dreamers, their families
and IHAD-LA, so that we can guide Dreamers in productive directions
and foster positive values.
