Welcome to the new TalentDreams website!
Share your experience to empower youth
TalentDreams is an online mentoring platform for youth between the ages 14-22 years of age. We rely on volunteer mentors, we call them Champion! If you’re passionate about spreading opportunity and equipping the next generation, we want to hear from you.
Mentors make it possible!
TalentDreams Mentors, who we call Champions, are essential to our community, offering invaluable support and guidance to young Dreamers.
After an application and vetting process, TalentDreams Mentors can:
- Meet 1:1 via Zoom with Dreamers ages 15–22
- Host workshops and seminars
- Offer group training for specific skills or interests
- Work with the TalentDreams team to build out more youth development programs
As a nonprofit, we couldn’t do it without you!
FAQs about TalentDreams mentorship
Would I be a good Champion?
If you care about young people, are interested in genuine listening, and are open to sharing your life experiences — then yes! TalentDreams Champions come from all backgrounds and are united by their deep desire to help others.
We’ll also equip you with training and resources to develop your mentoring toolbox.
What can I expect as a Champion?
You can expect to meet with a Dreamer one time, or multiple times to share information with them around whatever they’re interested in learning more about.
What is the time commitment?
To become a Champion you will go through our initial online training program and then attend our New Champion Orientation which is one hour. After that, we ask that you be available at least one hour a year to mentor, but you can meet with a Dreamer as often as you like.
Do I have to pay to be a Champion?
No, there is a free Champion Plan. There are also donation-based plans that are critical in helping to fund basic program operations for TalentDreams. We don’t ever want money to be a blocker for anyone who wants to participate in the program. That’s why we provide TalentDreams free to any and all youth and young adults between 14-22 who would like to join.
That said, we literally could not operate without our Champions who donate monthly or annually. These donations are absolutely vital to our ongoing ability to operate.
What is the appliation process?
Our Champions go through an application process to be approved to be a Champion. This includes training to ensure everyone is set up for success. The training is only a couple hours. You can start the application process here.
I’m not ready to become a Champion. Are there other ways to get involved?
You can become a Supporter of TalentDreams by making a monthly or yearly donation to help us continue the work we are doing with youth and young adults in the community.
