Last updated on January 4, 2010

City of Dreams is a non profit organization dedicated to helping youth living in low income housing build brighter futures through mentorship and youth development.

City of Dreams is currently in need of Group Mentors and One to One Mentors. The role of a mentor is to be a positive, supportive, caring and compassionate role model. We help youth build brighter futures by teaching them 12 simple life lessons packaged in 40 annual experiential learning events.

  • Mentorship: We pair youth with mentors to help reinforce the concepts in our experiential learning events and to provide a positive, stable, supportive role model outside of their core family.

  • Youth Development: We encourage youth to think critically, by exposing them to a variety of group events, experiences, lessons and exercises designed to teach them that “anything is possible” in life.

  • Requirements of a Group Mentor:
•Attend at least 1 Super Saturday a month
•One year commitment
•Have reliable transportation (either your own car or access to City Carshare/Zipcar), auto insurance, and a valid driver’s license
•Be willing to transport youth to and from their homes and the Super Saturdays
•Pass a background screening with the Department of Justice

Requirements of a One-to-One Mentor:
•Outings at least 2 times per month with your mentee (at least one being a Super Saturday)
•One year commitment
•Have reliable transportation (either your own car or access to City Carshare/Zipcar), auto insurance, and a valid driver’s license
•Be willing to transport youth to and from their homes and the Super Saturdays
•Pass a background screening with the Department of Justice

Group events (Super Saturdays) occur about every other Saturday between the hours of 10am – 4pm (approximately) and are planned and financed by City of Dreams. Visit our website for our full calendar of events. www.cityofdreams.org
