One person at a time, the DC Dream Center inspires youth and adults to dare to dream,
equipping them to live life, and live it to the full.
One of the reasons that I wanted to mentor was because I knew that I would get exposed to new things and new experiences that I wouldn’t have otherwise. I think that being a mentor is just as much for me as my mentee.
For so long when I was at my lowest point Rachel would be the person who would rescue me from that and say “now you’re going to do this”, and it would be so much better and more helpful.
#Cooking4ACause with Chef Gary! Today we learned about the different knives to use in the kitchen, and practiced by slicing tomatoes and club sandwiches, as well as frying and blending. We enjoyed eating the BLTs, turkey club sandwiches and Oreo milkshakes that we made!
Such a blessing to have a team from @threeriverschristianschool serve with us again, and we’re so grateful for all their hard work! They transformed our attic space, rearranged and purged items in the basement and at the Dream Center, served a member of our community and with our ministry partners at Urban Outreach. Thank you!!

We are incredibly grateful for our amazing mentors! We recently gathered for our annual All-Mentor meeting, a special time of celebration, sharing, and encouragement. During the meeting, we were honored to hear from Ken Howard, a licensed marriage and family therapist, who shared profound insights on the trauma and challenges of secure attachment.
At present, we have 40 mentors meeting monthly with their mentees, and we couldn’t be more thankful for each one of them. Their commitment and dedication to the growth and well-being of their mentees make a lasting impact.
Our mentors invest ten hours a month with their mentees, committing to at least one year of support. Want to learn more about becoming a mentor? Click here for more information! https://dcdreamcenter.com/mentoring/
We’re praising God for 29 years of ministry at the Southeast White House! A house of fellowship, discipleship and hospitality since February 6th 1996. The DC Dream Center continues the legacy of big dreams and changed lives!
Thank you to everyone who joined at our Reconciliation Luncheon to celebrate, and to @gods_garden__ for the delicious meal and homemade cake!
As we honor and celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, we are inspired by his call to serve.
“Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. …You only need a heart full of grace. A
soul generated by love.”
At the DC Dream Center we could not do this without all our incredible volunteers who give their time to serve with us! Whether at Second Saturday Serve, as a mentor or program leader, or a community event, we are so thankful for you!
We’re so thankful for all our incredible partners, donors and volunteers! As one of our participants shared “At the DC Dream Center they made me feel really welcome and I enjoy the programs here. It’s important to have a place like this for young people.” Your time, talent and treasure allows youth and adults to dare to dream, equipping them to live life, and live it to the full.

🎄💫 Merry Christmas!! We are so thankful to everyone who partnered with us to bring joy to children at the Dream Center this Christmas. 500 children received toys for Christmas through Santa’s Toy Shop!
The gym at the Dream Center was transformed into Santa’s workshop where new toys are set up for families to receive free toys, so children who may not otherwise receive anything have something to unwrap.
We wish you and your loved ones a wonderful, peaceful holiday as we celebrate the birth of the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ!
