The Centre for Dreams is committed to empowering individuals with developmental disabilities by fostering inclusion, independence, and opportunities for personal growth. Through our innovative and tailored programs, we provide a comprehensive support system that helps our members achieve their goals and live fulfilling lives. Our mandate is realized through the following programs:
- Community Participation Supports Program A specialized curriculum designed for adults living with developmental disabilities, focusing on life skills, social integration, and vocational training. This program fosters independence and confidence, enabling members to be respected and active participants in their communities.
- Youth Achieving Dreams (YAD) A transformative program for youth aged 13-18, bridging the gap between adolescence and adulthood. By providing social, emotional, and life-skills training, YAD combats social isolation and prepares youth for a future of independence and active community involvement.
- DreamWorx A hands-on job skills training program aimed at enhancing independence in community work placements. By replicating real-world environments in retail, grocery, and restaurant industries, members receive personalized coaching to thrive in their roles.
- Beyond the Label Campaign An awareness initiative challenging societal labels and promoting inclusion. This campaign inspires communities to recognize the abilities and potential of individuals with developmental disabilities, fostering a culture of acceptance and empowerment.
Guided by our mission to engage, educate, and empower, The Centre for Dreams creates a safe, interactive, and inclusive environment where members are celebrated for their individuality. Together, we work toward a world where all individuals with developmental disabilities are supported to live with dignity, respect, and purpose.
