“My colleagues and I are so excited to roll out the Find A Tree program in our Dream Academy Learning Centers. At the US Dream Academy, we believe that all children have strengths. Once those strengths are uncovered and dreams are awakened, children are much more likely to feel competent in useful ways and less likely to engage in destructive behavior. Daniel has given us practical tools to add structure to our Dream Search and Development." |

"We work with children every day living in high-risk communities who face dozens of daily challenges that threaten their ability to fully use their talents and explore their dreams. The Find A Tree curriculum, based on relationships, healing, action and accountability, offers our staff an effective way to help our DreamKids achieve their dreams. Daniel's practical and experiential training has motivated and prepared our staff to implement the Find A Tree curriculum at our Dream Academy Learning Centers this fall. We are excited to get started!" |
