At DREAM, we believe every young man has the potential to rise above challenges, thrive, and lead a successful, fulfilling life. Our BAM (Becoming A Man) program is designed specifically for middle school boys growing up in low-income or high-risk areas. Through the power of group mentoring, we provide the support, guidance, and resources they need to navigate the often turbulent journey of adolescence.
