Dream ARENA
Where bold ideas meet their moment.
We host pitch competitions where student entrepreneurs share bold ideas to change the world. Winners become Dream Chasers - receiving $10,000 grants to invest in their education and their social ventures.
Dream Chasers join the DCCM family where they are surrounded by mentors and a community that believes in their potential and is deeply committed to their success.
As our Dream Chasers grow into successful Change Makers, they return - not just as success stories, but as mentors and champions, ready to uplift the next generation of Dream Chasers and keep the opportunity to dream alive.
