About protect the dream
Protect the Dream is a character and leadership development program for student athletes designed to raise up positive role models in our hallways, classrooms, and communities. Teens are taught how to design a big dream worth protecting, how to manifest it, and how to protect it from the Seven Dream Killers. We help raise up Dream Protectors in our participating schools to assist administration in their fight against cyber bullying, drug and alcohol abuse, self-harm, and other threats students and teachers are facing in Gen Z and Alpha culture.
How we help
Safety is a major issue in our schools. There is talk of adding safety devices like metal detectors or adding more resource officers. But these may not detect potential school violence. The students often know of those that desire to hurt themselves or others before authorities become aware. Protect the Dream program challenges students to be aware of those that may be "loners" or students that are experiencing challenges from family, student bullying, etc. We work directly with students to befriend the loner, to be a listening ear to the emotionally disturbed, and to call-out the bullies in the school. This program PROACTIVELY stems violence, before it takes lives and hurts other students.
