Welcome to the new TalentDreams website!
Frequently Asked Questions
I just joined as a Dreamer, what do I do now?
You complete your profile. The more information you put in, the more matches you will get to meet with one of our Champions.
What is a Dreamer?
A Dreamer is what we call our members ages 14-22. During this time, major life decisions are made, often with the least amount of information when compared to any other time in life. What might seem like a small difference in a decision made at this time, can have a massive impact many years into the future. And sometimes these decisions can have a significant impact even in the near-term. At TalentDreams, we simply want every Dreamer to have as many resources as possible that are willing to help.
What can I expect as a Dreamer?
You can expect to meet Champions who are excited to be a resource to you. What you get out of the experience will somewhat depend on what you’re willing to put into it.
If you’re open, ask questions about things you’d like to learn more about, you will most likely gain something each time you meet with one of our Champions.
Who can become a Dreamer?
Anyone ages 15-22 can apply to be a Dreamer. After the New Dreamer Orientation, you can begin meeting with Champions.
How long will I be a Dreamer for?
As long as you would like and are within the age range to be a Dreamer.
We may expand to in-person events in the future, but the core of our work will remain online so that anyone, anywhere, can benefit from a life-changing conversation.
Is there a code of conduct?
Yes, both our Dreamers and Champions have a code of conduct they agree to.
How do I find a Champion?
Once you have completed the application process and attended the New Dreamer Orientation, you can access our pool of Champions and request to meet with anyone you’d like.
Are your Champions trustworthy?
Our Champions go through not just an extensive vetting process, but we also train them in communications and support them in their relationship with the Dreamer.
Do your Champions have to do a background check?
Yes, we have a comprehensive vetting process every Champion goes through before they become approved and active in the program. This includes a background check.
Do I have to pay anything?
No, TalentDreams is free at absolutely no cost to our Dreamers.
What can I do as a Dreamer?
You can view the pool of Champions and request to meet with anyone you’d like. Examples include career exploration– learning about a particular occupation or industry (a role in healthcare, entertainment, military, a particular vocation, working in tech or building a career in business, entrepreneurship or running a small business, etc).
It could be around an area of interest you have (hobbies, sports, travel, etc) or some kind of life experience you’re curious to learn more about (personal health and wellness, what it’s like to live in a specific city or a school you’re considering attending, etc). There are many things you can learn more about or hear perspective from a Champion.
