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 had an awesome time at the All-In basketball huddle! Fellowship of Christian Athletes offers monthly huddles for people ages 12-30 with intellectual disabilities - we play basketball and have a time of fellowship with a Bible study, and of course have lots of fun! For more information on attending the next one or volunteering, please email Grace at [email protected].
Open Gym is every Saturday for ages 10-17, from 12-3pm! We also have Guys Night Out on Fridays from 7-9pm for ages 14-18. Bring your friends and come shoot some hoops!
