The dare to dream program offers one-to-one mentorship for youth in foster care, ages 11 to 22, by pairing them with trained, committed adult volunteers. These mentors empower youth to build life skills, explore passions, and set and achieve meaningful goals. Each mentor-mentee pair meets twice a month for a year to develop a personalized "roadmap to success," celebrating milestones together along the way. These relationships often extend beyond the initial one-year commitment, resulting in a deep, lasting impact. The heart of the program is to walk alongside youth as they navigate through life's challenges.in 2024, the austin angels dare to dream program had 74 mentors supporting 79 youth in celebrating significant achievements, including high school graduations, enrollment in community colleges, and obtaining jobs - clear indicators of growth in confidence, trust, and long-term success.
