DREAMS Program

In 2015, a new DREAMS chapter began its journey in Bastrop, Louisiana with the co-founders Officer Gary Guice, Ms. Kathy Leonard, and Ms. Cindy Hendrix. They have organized a few meetings with local adult and youth volunteers for the project introduction, planning and training.

The program was introduced and recruited volunteers from all five middle schools in Bastrop. The project is hosted by Prairie View Academy. This chapter received a lot of community and local business participation, along with active involvement from schools. The chapter serves around 35 middle school students every year with the help of around 10 youth mentors and more than 12 adult community mentors.
