Testimonials
Students, parents, and volunteers share their reflections
Our student leaders, volunteer tutors, and DreamCatchers staff work together as an integrated team so that every student gets the support they deserve.
““DreamCatchers is more than a program that helps kids with their homework… it is like a family. It is amazing to see how our kids grow holistically. DreamCatchers has helped us as parents to talk to the teachers, advocate for our kids, and integrate us within this community in PAUSD.””
““Serving as a DreamCatchers tutor is both challenging and satisfying… My son feels well-supported by the DreamCatchers staff, which provides training in teaching and communication methods as well as in other skills needed to build a constructive tutor-tutee relationship. Serving as a DreamCatchers tutor has also helped my son’s own academic development… [and] both my children have learned the value of hands-on, face-to-face volunteering.”
““I enjoy having teachers that understand me and help me in any way they can. Even if I am doing fine, they still check in on me. The support I get here has helped me become a better student, as well as a better person.””
““So often times the student that comes into DreamCatchers is not the same student that comes out—simply because no one had really given them a chance before.””
““We are very grateful for this program. The influence of our daughter’s tutors has inspired her to dream of being a professional and attending a university.””
““DreamCatchers is the best place to be when you have a lot of homework. I feel really comfortable here and asking questions. The whole staff supports us. It’s been an amazing time here.””
