2 Our DR3AM'RS recently visited the campus of Georgia Gwinnett College. The teens enjoyed the opportunity to see the entire university including facilities and dorms. They enjoyed lunch on one of many campus cafeterias and they listened to current students talk about their college experience.

4 Once again our DR3AM RS had the exciting opportunity to volunteer at the Atlanta Community Food Bank. The teens worked diligently on food sorting, product rescue center and office work.

They serve community kitchens, childcare centers, night shelters and senior centers. The Food Bank utilizes more than 1,700 volunteers a month and our DR3AM RS are very thankful to be part of this mission, which is fighting against hunger by engaging, educating and empowering our community!

The college offer programs that can be completed in two years or less. Certification is also available. They encouraged our teens to begin thinking about their future and exposed them to ideas for their future careers.

11 WE MUSEUMS The DR3AM'RS enjoyed a Museum day. They visited two museums, the Federal Reserve Bank and the CDC Museum in Atlanta. We encourage our youth to develop a love for history, to compare and contrast, encourage questions, encourage new ideas and the last one: museums inspire. Museums inspire us to wonder, imagine and dream of possibilities that are beyond what we know.
