Causes We Care About
We believe in elevating women and people from under-represented communities. Our passion for giving back began years ago. If you identify with our Mission and want to contribute, consider supporting one of these programs!
Academy of Dreams
Special Needs School
Mission: Empowering people with special needs to reach their dreams while giving back to the community.
​
The program encourages continued growth and independence in our special people through functional education, daily living and employment skill building. In addition to basic education, our lessons include restaurant serving skills, cooking, crafts and field trips.
​
Michigan is one of the few states that has schooling for special needs students up until the age of twenty-six. Many parents have wondered what comes next. Academy of Dreams hopes to be that next step. Future goals include:
​
1. Opening an official 26+ Monday through Friday day program
​
2. Further enlargement of the student base by including those 18-26
​
3. Continued growth in our Friday evening and Saturday afternoon social programs
​
Regardless of where we are in the achievement of these goals, our core focus will remain the same. Education, employment and daily living skill building that empower our special needs community to reach their dreams while giving back to the community. With your support, our students' educational and work skills will assist and inspire their communities well into the future.
