Education

The Dream Center offers two programs for Title 1 students in DeSoto County. The Elementary Education program focuses on 3rd-5th graders, providing reading and math enrichment through game based activities and homework assistance. The Leadership Program serves 6th-9th grade students using leadership materials in small group environments to help develop strong character traits and help prepare the students for a successful future.

The Dream Center Education Program has been a vital part of a rise in school grades, improved behavior in the classroom and an increase in self-confidence of the children who regularly participate. Relationships have been forged and hope is being restored.
