The past month has been very productive at the Dream Center. We’ve been able to communicate with Jody more and establish some new ideas such as a field trips with the kids. We have also met with Brandi, one of the lead interns for the program, who gave us a lot of great ideas to implement next semester to put our budget to work, such as leadership talks and mini sports lessons involving Drury athletes and an end of the year carnival. The kids have been more excited to see us the more frequently we volunteer as we are becoming a point of stability in their lives. We have all been able to volunteer in different areas with various age groups, this has allowed us to build unique relationships with the kids. Taegan has continued volunteering for the OTC babysitters club allowing students to work on degrees while having childcare. Lily, Kelsey, Elizabeth, Autumn, and Audrey have been actively involved with the after school program providing a safe and fun environment for children of working parents. Kenzie has continued working with the “circles” kids, this allows parents to work on their GED while their kids are learning as well. Paige recently went on a field trip with a group of the kids to an MSU basketball game. We feel thatthis semester at the dream center has been instrumental to the establishment of our project as we have been able to get to know the kids and learn how to best serve the growing program. We have enjoyed our time at the Dream Center immensely and are excited to fully implement our project next semester!
