DreamCatchers
Mission Statement
DreamCatchers provides an environment that promotes emotional, social and educational success to immigrant students with the guidance of Dickinson College mentors. DreamCatchers serves mostly Middle Eastern and Eastern European middle school students in the Carlisle School District. While the mentors strive to support each student, the students are often the teachers, reminding the mentors how innocent young people can and should be. Highly committed mentors work with students who have great potential, lots of energy and a desire to succeeed. This mission statment can be found here.
Events
Each Dickinson College Student is paired up with a high shool student. It is expected that the college student will maintain a one-on-one relationship with the high school student they are paired up with (via phone, internet, and in person). Once a month the high school students are brought to the campus where they will be able to spend time with their mentor, do fun activities (such as skating, bowling etc.), and learn education tools to help them get through school. The Lincoln Intermediate Unit is the organization that bring the high school students from Chambersburg, Harrisburg, Shippenburg and Carlisle to the college. This organization deals with the development of migrand children. For more information visit their unofficial website by Nsenga Jenkins '07.
