Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO PROVIDE ACADEMIC SUPPORT, COUNSELING AND MENTORSHIP TO LOW-INCOME YOUTH FROM EARLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THROUGH MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL, AND GUARANTEED TUITION SUPPORT FOR HIGHER EDUCATION. OUR WORK IS FOUNDED ON THE BELIEF THAT GIVEN EQUITABLE ACCESS TO RESOURCES ALL CHILDREN CAN REALIZE THEIR INNATE POTENTIAL.
DREAM SCHOLARS MADE ACADEMIC STRIDES THROUGHOUT THEIR 10TH GRADE YEAR, AND PARTICIPATED IN SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL AND LIFE SKILLS LEARNING WORKSHOPS. HALF OF OUR DREAM SCHOLARS HAVE GRADE POINT AVERAGES OVER A 3.0, FIVE OF OUR STUDENTS BOAST GRADE POINT AVERAGES OVER 3.5. ONE OF OUR STUDENTS RECEIVED THE HIGHEST HONOR IN THE SCHOOL, RECEIVING THE ONLY WOLVERINE EXCELLENCE STUDENT AWARD.
STUDENTS ENGAGED IN, AND THRIVED, WITH ACADEMIC TUTORING WITH CERTIFIED TEACHERS AFTER SCHOOL. WE ENGAGED 10 VOLUNTEER PEER TUTORS FROM AREA HIGH SCHOOLS THAT SUPPORTED OUR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE ACADEMIC YEAR. WE WERE ABLE TO PIVOT DURING THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS WITH REMOTE TUTORING AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SUPPORT OVER GOOGLE-MEET AND ZOOM CONFERENCING.
WE PARTNERED WITH WOOD RIVER HIGH SCHOOL TO DESIGN AND DELIVER A "SUMMER SEMINAR" WHICH SUPPORTED 53 STUDENTS, 12 OF WHOM WERE DREAM SCHOLARS, TO RECOVER CREDITS THEY HAD LOST THROUGH THE ACADEMIC YEAR, EXACERBATED BY THE TRANSITION TO ONLINE LEARNING DURING COVID. THESE STUDENTS WOULD NOT HAVE CONTINUED ONTO THE NEXT GRADE LEVEL HAD THEY NOT PARTICIPATED IN THIS SEMINAR. 96% OF THE STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED RECOVERED ALL OF THEIR CREDITS (IN TOTAL 206 CREDITS WERE RECOVERED).
