OUR WORK
Through the power of art and storytelling, we teach young kids about social issues from hunger and poverty to clean water and climate change, cultivating their natural empathy for other children (and for the planet!) and empowering them to make a difference.
Based in social emotional learning, our Dreamcatchers program teaches kids how to manage their emotions, set goals, show empathy for others, establish positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
We use art and stories to broaden children’s awareness of the world around them and appreciate the perspectives of others. We turn their natural empathy into action, helping them to build a plan to make a difference in the world.
Being a Dreamcatcher means building connections in a supportive community, where their ideas are welcomed and collaboration is fun and rewarding!
Many of our Dreamcatchers go on to become Youth Ambassadors, deepening their understanding of critical issues in their communities and the world, and taking their impact to the next level.
