“Dream On Purpose is an excellent organization that works to provide girls with  access to information and resources that they may not already have. Dream On Purpose has provided a space where I can be comfortable asking questions and leave the space with new information and opportunities. The organization has provided me with a community of women that are eager to assist me towards success in my future endeavors.”

“Dream on Purpose has affected me by giving me a chance to better myself. Before I started, I had a plan of what I wanted to do with my life; and now with Dream on Purpose, I have made connections with amazing females that can help me in the future.”

“My strive for success became more effective, making me more dedicated to go after what I wanted after I became involved with Dream On Purpose.”

While attending the Dream on Purpose Career Launch Intensive Program, there was a statement made that has changed my perspective on collaboration and networking. Ms. Keira Simmonds said that our greatest strengths are being reliable and compassionate. Yet, sometimes we do not allow others who possess those same strengths to execute them because we try to do everything on our own. This helped me recognize that the same refreshed feeling I feel after assisting someone is the same feeling others desire. With the help of Dream on Purpose, I look forward to building on my ability to be dependent. It is safe to say that this will enable me to not only allow others to be of assistance to me, but to also display their strengths.”

“As a member of DOP, it has been an honor to participate in the Career Launch Intensive program. Throughout the presentation given by Ms. Keira Simmonds, I was able to learn how to plan my future and identify my skills and strengths. I was also given the opportunity to expand my personal and professional network by communicating with other members present at the event. It was so exciting to be able to shop, put together and create my own professional outfit. I want to thank Ms. Shareen Baptiste for putting together this event and my mentor, Ms. Patrice Fletcher, for helping me put together an amazing outfit. I learned so much and will absolutely carry the things I learned and memories I made with me along the way.”

“I’ve learned to believe in me for me so that I can do all things that I strive for and surround myself with people who want the best for me.”

“This experience [Career Launch Intensive] made me realize how important your dreams really are. It also gives you a lot of reasons to open up more, express yourself more, get out and explore the world, and meet new people because there may be people out there like you. This experience has made me realize who I really am.”

“This event [Career Launch Intensive] has changed me by giving me the experience to really ask myself ‘Who am I?’ and ‘What do I want to do with my life?’ This event has helped me to see my strengths and weaknesses and has given me all the knowledge I need to help me be successful and reach my goals. I think that this was a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to others.”

“Dream on Purpose changed my life because I learned a lot throughout the program [Career Launch Intensive] that entails information about careers, job opportunities, and what to do for an interview. Thank you for your help!”
