The D.R.E.A.M.S. Campaign
Overview: The Frontline Project is a strong proponent of youth building on their dreams of success. Helping teens become aware of their dreams and teaching them how to reach for goals is a critical skill parents and teachers need to encourage. Our hopes and dreams shape our lives, the choices we make, and the success we achieve. Everyone has different dreams – and a different definition of success. But everyone needs a dream. Dreams and goals give life purpose, direction and meaning. They help young people build toward the future, and offer a sense of control and hope through the following programs:
