One person at a time, the DC Dream Center inspires youth and adults to dare to dream, equipping them to reach their God-given potential.
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.
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!
🎄🎅🤶 We had an amazing time at our children’s Christmas party! From photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus to arts and crafts, face painting, balloon art, a hot cocoa bar, awesome dance and music performances, and so much more—it was a time full of festive fun!
A huge THANK YOU to all the incredible volunteers who made it happen. We couldn’t have done it without you!

We loved having former mentee and mentor John Johnson, and the team from @verbalgymnastics share their amazing storytelling performances at our Seniors Brunch!
Verbal Gymnastics live “playback theatre” is an interactive performance that hears a story from the audience and honors it with an improvised retelling.
John says “I am here because as a young person I was poured into at the Southeast White House. I’m a product of people here pouring into me.”
Thank you so much to John and the team!! 👏🏾
