Explore our Community with a Friend!

Dream Builders Alliance invites new volunteers to apply to explore the community with young adults with disabilities while forming meaningful friendships. Young adults in this program are ready to get out into the community, contributing their wide range of goals, interests, and dreams with those at work, school, home, and you!

Meetups occur for 2-5 hours a week for six months, fully reimbursed by the program. Each meet up will create a unique experience based on mutual interests to build towards their dreams and goals. Examples include:

  • Fishing, hiking, skateboarding, and running
  • Going to art museums or galleries
  • Studying at a local coffee shop
  • Job shadowing at a restaurant
  • Riding public transit

About the Organization

Dream Builders Alliance is a grass roots effort to provide empowerment, education, and community opportunities to transition-aged youth, 16-21. We work to connect participants to post-secondary education, housing and employment options. Participants are also provided an introduction to adult support services that emphasizes individual choice and full community inclusion.
