Dream Circle
Because Together Is Better.
Your Child’s Personalized Support Network
The Dream Circle is a unique feature of Dream Chaser Kids, designed to create a supportive and engaging community around your child’s journey. It’s more than just a newsletter—it’s a way for your child to connect with a hand-picked group of relatives, friends, and mentors who are actively involved in cheering them on and supporting their dreams.
How It Works
- Personalized Support Network: Each child’s Dream Circle is composed of close family members, friends, and mentors who receive monthly newsletters created by your child during class. These newsletters keep the circle members informed of your child’s progress, milestones, and projects, allowing them to provide ongoing encouragement and feedback.
- Earning While Learning: Circle members can contribute financially, up to $20 per month, directly supporting your child’s projects and initiatives. This practical experience not only boosts your child’s confidence but also teaches them valuable lessons in financial management and responsibility.
- Continuous Engagement: The Dream Circle isn’t a one-time event; it’s an ongoing relationship. Your child’s supporters are not just observers—they’re active participants, providing the emotional and financial backing that helps your child turn their dreams into reality.
Why It Matters
Support Like This Feels Different
We’ve all seen the pride on a child athlete’s face as supporters cheer from the stands. Imagine the look on your Dream Chaser’s face when their supporters aren’t just cheering—they provide financial encouragement, give product feedback, refer new customers, like and share posts, and so much more.
Why It Matters:
- Emotional Support: 2018 study and another study found that the presence of trusted adults who believe in your child’s potential is linked to positive outcomes that extend into adulthood, fostering resilience, academic success, and social well-being.
- Real-World Learning: By managing contributions and engaging with their circle, children learn essential life skills that prepare them for future success, both personally and professionally.
But There’s More!
Now picture this, your child’s private newsletters evolve into a powerful and valuable asset within their portfolio. These newsletters, created through their Dream Circle, not only document their growth and achievements but also serve as a compelling showcase for internships, scholarships, college applications, and even future employment opportunities. By sharing their progress, projects, and the support they’ve received from their Circle, your child demonstrates a history of ambition, creativity, and practical skills that set them apart in any competitive setting.
In essence, what starts as a monthly update to Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, friends and neighbors becomes a key element in your child’s journey to success, illustrating their dedication, resilience, and the community that believes in their potential.
Together, we’re writing the chapters in the most extraordinary story ever told.
